28 At that time, David offered sacrifices there when he saw that the Lord answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 29 The tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at the high place in Gibeon,(A) 30 but David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was terrified of the sword of the Lord’s angel.

22 Then David said, “This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”(B)

28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord responded to him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 Now the Lord’s tabernacle (which Moses had made in the wilderness) and the altar for burnt sacrifices were at that time at the worship center[a] in Gibeon. 30 But David could not go before it to seek God’s will, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord. 22 David then said, “This is the place where the temple of the Lord God will be, along with the altar for burnt sacrifices for Israel.”
