1 Chronicles 21:28-22:1
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Place Chosen for the Temple

28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made his sacrifices there. 29 For the tabernacle of the Lord that Moses had made in the wilderness and the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon,(A) 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. 22 1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the Lord God and here the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”(B)

1 Chronicles 21:28-22:1
New Living Translation

28 When David saw that the Lord had answered his prayer, he offered sacrifices there at Araunah’s threshing floor. 29 At that time the Tabernacle of the Lord and the altar of burnt offering that Moses had made in the wilderness were located at the place of worship in Gibeon. 30 But David was not able to go there to inquire of God, because he was terrified by the drawn sword of the angel of the Lord.

22 Then David said, “This will be the location for the Temple of the Lord God and the place of the altar for Israel’s burnt offerings!”
