Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
In context
25So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site. 26David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh, and he answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering. 27Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath. 28At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. 29For the tabernacle of Yahweh, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time at the high place in Gibeon.
