The Significance of the New Altar

1 Chronicles 21:28-30

At that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth there;

and the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, are at that time in a high place, in Gibeon;

and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of Jehovah.
