1 Cronache 21:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 21:28

At that time when David saw that the Lord had answered him in
the threshing floor Of Ornan the Jebusite
The same with Araunah, ( 2 Samuel 24:16 ) , with some small variation of the letters, and are of the same signification; both signifying the "ornus", as Hillerus ^F13 observes, the pine tree or ash; see ( Isaiah 44:14 ) , in whose threshingfloor David now was, and where he had been praying and sacrificing; and God had accepted his prayer, as the Targum, and had answered him, by causing fire to come down on the sacrifice and consume it, and by ordering the angel to put up his sword in its sheath:

then he sacrificed there;
again by the priests, and continued to do so, for he had sacrificed there before, ( 1 Chronicles 21:26 ) and finding his sacrifices in that place were acceptable, he repeated them, and did not go to Gibeon, as follows.

1 Cronache 21:28 In-Context

26 E Davide edificò quivi un altare al Signore, ed offerse olocausti, e sacrificii da render grazie, ed invocò il Signore, il quale gli rispose dal cielo col fuoco ch’egli mandò in su l’altar dell’olocausto.

27 E per comandamento del Signore, l’Angelo rimise la sua spada nel fodero.

28 In quel tempo, Davide veggendo che il Signore gli avea risposto nell’aia di Ornan Gebuseo, vi sacrificò.

29 Or il Tabernacolo del Signore che Mosè avea fatto nel deserto, e l’Altare degli olocausti, era in quel tempo nell’alto luogo in Gabaon.

30 E Davide non potè andare davanti a quello, per ricercare Iddio; perciocchè egli era spaventato per la spada dell’Angelo del Signore.
