1 Chronicles 21:14-17

14So Jehovah sent a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478; and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376. 15And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was about to destroyH7843, Jehovah beheld, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the destroyingH7843 angelH4397, It is enoughH7227; nowH6258 stay thy handH3027. And the angelH4397 of Jehovah was standingH5975 by the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 16And DavidH1732 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah standingH5975 between earthH776 and heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretchedH5186 out over JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205, clothed in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 upon their facesH6440. 17And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it not I that commanded the peopleH5971 to beH1961 numberedH4487? even I it is that have sinnedH2398 and done very wickedly; but these sheepH6629, what have they done? let thy handH3027, I pray thee, O Jehovah my GodH430, beH1961 against me, and against my father’sH1 houseH1004; but not against thy peopleH5971, that they should beH1961 plaguedH4046.
