26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the Lord; and aHe answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
27 So the Lord commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.
29 aFor the tabernacle of the Lord and the altar of the burnt offering, which Moses had made in the wilderness, were at that time at the high place in bGibeon.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
