13:021:023 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee,
and let my lord
the
king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I
give thee
the
oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing
instruments
for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I
give
it all.
13:021:024 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but
I will verily buy it
for
the full price: for I will not take that which
is thine
for
the lord, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
13:021:025 So David gave to Ornan for the place six
hundred shekels of
gold
by weight.
13:021:026 And David built there an altar unto the
lord, and offered
burnt
offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the
lord;
and
he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar
of
burnt
offering.
13:021:027 And the lord commanded the angel;
and he put up his sword
again
into the sheath thereof.
13:021:028 At that time when David saw that the lord
had answered him in
the
threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed
there.
13:021:029 For the tabernacle of the lord, which
Moses made in the
wilderness,
and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that
season
in the high place at Gibeon.
13:021:030 But David could not go before it to enquire
of God: for he was
afraid
because of the sword of the angel of the lord.
13:022:001 Then David said, This is the house of the
lord God, and this
is
the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
13:022:002 And David commanded to gather together
the strangers that were
in
the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought
stones
to
build the house of God.
13:022:003 And David prepared iron in abundance for
the nails for the
doors
of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in
abundance
without weight;
13:022:004 Also cedar trees in abundance: for
the Zidonians and they of
Tyre
brought much cedar wood to David.
13:022:005 And David said, Solomon my son is young
and tender, and the
house
that is to be builded for the lord must be exceeding
magnifical,
of fame and of glory throughout all countries:
I
will
therefore now make preparation for it. So David
prepared
abundantly
before his death.
13:022:006 Then he called for Solomon his son, and
charged him to build
an
house for the lord God of Israel.
13:022:007 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for
me, it was in my
mind
to build an house unto the name of the lord my
God:
