Verse 30 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Chronicles. David continues offering sacrifices at Ornan’s threshing floor and recognizes that the altar of the Lord should remain there. The location becomes a transition point between the earlier system of worship and the future construction of the temple. The experience of judgment thus leads to a decision with consequences for Jerusalem’s entire religious history.
