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 desert, 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 Yahweh answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 Now the tabernacle of Yahweh that Moses had made in the desert and the altar of burnt offering were at that time at the high place of Gibeon. 30 But David was not able to go before it to seek God, for he was afraid on account of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.

22 Then David said, “This will be the house of Yahweh God, and this altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
