David built an altar there to honor the Lord. He sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings. He called out to the Lord. The Lord answered him by sending fire from heaven on the altar for burnt offerings.Then the Lord spoke to the angel. And the angel put his sword away.When the angel did that, David was still at the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite. David saw that the Lord had answered him. So he offered sacrifices there.At that time, the Lord’ s holy tent was at the high place in Gibeon. The altar for burnt offerings was there too. Moses had made the holy tent in the desert.David couldn’t go to the tent to pray to God. That’s because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
