1 Chronicles 21:9-13
9And the LORDH3068H413 instructedH1696 GadH1410, David’sH1732H559 seerH2374, 10“GoH1980 and tellH1696 DavidH1732 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘IH589 am offeringH5186H5921 you threeH7969 options. ChooseH977 oneH259 of them, and I will carry it outH6213 against you.’”
11So GadH1410 wentH935 and saidH559 toH413 DavidH1732, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘You must chooseH6901 12betweenH518 threeH7969 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, threeH7969 monthsH2320 of being swept awayH55951 beforeH6440 your enemiesH6862 and overtakenH5381 by their swordsH2719H341, orH518 threeH7969 daysH3117 of the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068—days of plagueH1698 upon the landH776, with the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 ravagingH7843 everyH3605 partH1366 of IsraelH3478.’ Now thenH6258, decideH7200 howH4100 I should replyH7725H1697 to Him who sent meH7971.”
13DavidH1732H413 answeredH559 GadH1410, “I am deeply distressedH6862H3966. PleaseH4994, let me fallH5307 into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, forH3588 His merciesH7356 are veryH3966 greatH7227; but do notH408 let me fallH5307 into the handsH3027 of menH120.”
