1Ch 22:1 — Then David said, This [is] the house of the LORD God, and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

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. 1Ch 21:18-28; Gen 28:17; Deu 12:5-7,11; 2Sa 24:18; 2Ch 3:1; 2Ch 6:5,6; Psa 78:60,67-69; Psa 132:13,14; Jhn 4:20-22
and this is the altar		2Ki 18:22; 2Ch 32:12
