Verse 26 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Chronicles. David builds an altar on the threshing floor of Ornan and offers sacrifices. The site gains decisive importance because it will later be associated with the temple. Ornan offers to give the land freely, but David insists on paying for it, declaring that he will not offer God something that costs him nothing. The scene connects repentance, sacrifice, and preparation for the future sanctuary.
