1 Chronicles 21:14-17

14So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a plagueH1698 upon IsraelH3478, and seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376 of IsraelH3478 fell deadH5307.

15Then GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 to destroyH7843 JerusalemH3389, but as the angel was doing soH7843, the LORDH3068 saw itH7200 and relentedH5162 fromH5921 the calamityH7451, and He saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was destroying the peopleH7843, “EnoughH7227! WithdrawH7503 your handH3027 nowH6258!”

At that time the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 was standingH5975 byH5973 the threshing floorH1637 of OrnanH7711 the JebusiteH2983.

16When DavidH1732 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standingH5975 betweenH996 heavenH8064 andH996 earthH776, with a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretched outH5186 overH5921 JerusalemH3389, DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205, clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 facedownH5921H6440. 17And DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 GodH430, “Was it notH3808 IH589 who gave the orderH559 to countH4487 the peopleH5971? IH5892 am the oneH1931 whoH834 has sinnedH2398 and acted wickedlyH7489. But theseH428 sheepH6629, whatH4100 have they doneH6213? O LORDH3068 my GodH430, pleaseH4994 let Your handH3027 fall uponH1961 me and my father’sH1 houseH1004, but do notH3808 let this plagueH4046 remain upon Your peopleH5971.”
