- 1 Chronicles 21:18–21:27
Records David's obedience to the command spoken in the LORD's name. Read 1 Chronicles 21:19 within 21:18–21:27. The complete unit records: Gad directs David to build an altar, Ornan and sons encounter the scene, David insists on full payment, offerings receive heavenly fire, and the angel sheathes the sword.
Why It Needs Context
Records David's obedience to the command spoken in the LORD's name. Its responsible force depends on 21:18–21:27; isolated from “Ornan's floor is purchased and the sword is sheathed,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
