TSK · 1 Chronicles 22:1

He was afraid and said,“What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!”

Then you must come to the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to reside, bringing everything I am commanding you– your burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, and all your choice votive offerings which you devote to him.

David Acquires a Threshing Floor and Constructs an Altar There So Gad went to David that day and told him,“Go up and build an altar for the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

So the LORD’s angel told Gad to instruct David to go up and build an altar for the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

He told David,‘Since the day I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from all the tribes of Israel to build a temple in which to live. Nor did I choose a man as leader of my people Israel.

He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he lived among men.

Certainly the LORD has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”
