## 1 Chronicles 21:26-30 in Context (Verses 23–30 KJV)
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/23) And Ornan said unto David, Take *it* to thee, and let my lord the king do *that which is* good in his eyes: lo, I give *thee* the oxen *also* for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/24) And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take *that* which *is* thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/25) So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/26) And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/27) And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/28) ¶ At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/29) For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, *were* at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/21/30) But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
