Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

This is the house: David perhaps had some assurance that this was the place on which God designed that His house should be built; and perhaps it was this that induced him to buy not only the threshing-floor, but probably some adjacent ground also, as Calmet supposes, that there might be sufficient room for such a structure. 1 Chronicles 21:18-28, Genesis 28:17, Deuteronomy 12:5-7, Deuteronomy 12:11, 2 Samuel 24:18, 2 Chronicles 3:1, 2 Chronicles 6:5, 2 Chronicles 6:6, Psalms 78:60, Psalms 78:67-69, Psalms 132:13, Psalms 132:14, John 4:20-22
