Talmud zu Divrej Hajamim I 21:19

Rebbi Borqai stated before Rebbi Mana: This teaches that the Canaanites did not leave any mountain or hill where they did not worship. But do we not understand to say, anything alive, while not forbidden for a private person, is forbidden for Heaven¹⁶⁵If it was worshipped as pagan deity, Note 142.? How could the Temple have been built¹⁶⁶While a mountaintop is perfectly good for agricultural use, it should be forbidden as a place for the Temple. Therefore the place could not have been selected by humans. It is not a mountain top.? By the order of a prophet; David went up following the word of Gad which he had said by the Hand of the Eternal¹⁶⁷1Chr. 21:19, slightly misquoted..
