Common English Bible

Location of the future temple

²⁸ At that time, after David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. ²⁹ The Lord’s dwelling that Moses had made in the desert and the altar for entirely burned offerings were then at the shrine in Gibeon, ³⁰ but David couldn’t go there to seek God because he feared the sword of the Lord’s messenger.
