1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 21:28–30

²⁸At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. ²⁹For the tabernacle of the LORD that Moses had made in the wilderness and the altar of burnt offering were presently at the high place in Gibeon, ³⁰but David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
