1 Chronicles 21:26 - The Pulpit Commentary

1 Chronicles 21:26 -

He answered him from heaven by fire . There is no doubt significance in the fact that the compiler of Chronicles records this answer by fire, unmentioned in the Book of Samuel. He would give prominence to this great token, as determining, or going a great way towards determining, the site of the temple. The answer by fire was given on critical and special occasions (Le 1 Chronicles 9:24 ; 1 Kings 18:24 , 1 Kings 18:38 ).
