- This is the house:
- David perhaps had some assurance that this was the place on which God designed that His house should be built; and perhaps it was this that induced him to buy not only the threshing-floor, but probably some adjacent ground also, as Calmet supposes, that there might be sufficient room for such a structure. "Then the angelª of the LORDª commandedª°¹ Gadª to sayª° to David,ª that¹ Davidª should go up,ª° and set upª° an altarª unto the LORDª in the threshingfloorª of Ornanª the Jebusite.ª ... At that¹ timeª when Davidª sawª° that¹ the LORDª had answeredª° him in the threshingfloorª of Ornanª the Jebusite,ª then he sacrificedª° there.¹" {1Ch 21:18-28} + "And he was afraid,ª° and said,ª° How¹ dreadfulª° [is] this¹ place!ª this¹ [is] none¹ other but¹¹ the houseª of God,ª and this¹ [is] the gateª of heaven.ª" {Gen 28:17} + "But¹¹ unto¹ the placeª which¹ the LORDª your Godª shall chooseª° out of all¹¹ your tribesª to putª°¹ his nameª there,¹ [even] unto his habitationª shall ye seek,ª° and thither¹ thou shalt come:ª° ... And there¹ ye shall eatª° beforeª the LORDª your God,ª and ye shall rejoiceª° in all¹ that ye putª your handª unto, ye¹ and your households,ª wherein¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath blessedª° thee." {Deu 12:5-7} + "Then there shall be¹ a placeª which¹ the LORDª your Godª shall chooseª° to cause his nameª to dwellª° there;¹ thither¹ shall ye bringª°¹ all¹ that¹ I¹ commandª° you; your burnt offerings,ª and your sacrifices,ª your tithes,ª and the heave offeringª of your hand,ª and all¹ your choiceª vowsª which¹ ye vowª° unto the LORD:ª" {Deu 12:11} + "And Gadª cameª° that¹ dayª to¹ David,ª and saidª° unto him, Go up,ª° rearª° an altarª unto the LORDª in the threshingfloorª of Araunahª the Jebusite.ª" {2Sm 24:18} + "Then Solomonª beganª° to buildª°¹ the houseª of the LORDª at Jerusalemª in mountª Moriah,ª where¹ [the LORD] appearedª° unto Davidª his father,ª in the placeª that¹ Davidª had preparedª° in the threshingfloorª of Ornanª the Jebusite.ª" {2Ch 3:1} + "Since¹ the dayª that¹ I brought forthª°¹ my peopleª out of the landª¹ of Egyptª I choseª° no¹ cityª among all¹¹ the tribesª of Israelª to buildª° an houseª in, that my nameª might be¹ there;¹ neither¹ choseª° I any manª to be¹ a rulerª over¹ my peopleª Israel:ª ... But I have chosenª° Jerusalem,ª that my nameª might be¹ there;¹ and have chosenª° Davidª to be¹ over¹ my peopleª Israel.ª" {2Ch 6:5-6} + "So that he forsookª° the tabernacleª of Shiloh,ª the tentª [which] he placedª° among men;ª" {Psa 78:60} + "Moreover he refusedª° the tabernacleª of Joseph,ª and choseª° not¹ the tribeª of Ephraim:ª ... And he builtª° his sanctuaryª like¹ highª° [palaces], like the earthª which he hath establishedª° for ever.ª" {Psa 78:67-69} + "For¹ the LORDª hath chosenª° Zion;ª he hath desiredª° [it] for his habitation.ª ... This¹ [is] my restª for ever:ª¹ here¹ will I dwell;ª° for¹ I have desiredª° it." {Psa 132:13-14} + "Ourª fathersª worshippedª° inª thisª mountain;ª andª yeª say,ª° thatª inª Jerusalemª isª° the¹ placeª whereª men oughtª° to worship.ª° ... Yeª worshipª° ye knowª° notª what:ª we¹ knowª° whatª we² worship:ª° forª salvationª isª° ofª the¹ Jews.ª" {Jhn 4:20-22}
