2 Samuel 24:11-15
11When DavidH1732 got upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 had comeH1961 toH413 GadH1410 the prophetH5030, David’sH1732H559 seerH2374: 12“GoH1980 and tellH1696 DavidH1732 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘IH595 am offeringH5190H5921 you threeH7969 options. ChooseH977 oneH259 of them, and I will carry it outH6213 against you.’”
13So GadH1410 wentH935 and saidH5046 toH413 DavidH1732, “Do you choose to endureH935 threeH76511 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 in your landH776, threeH7969 monthsH2320 of fleeingH5127 the pursuitH1931H7291 ofH6440 your enemiesH6862, orH518 threeH7969 daysH3117 ofH1961 plagueH1698 upon your landH776? Now thenH6258, think it overH3045 and decideH7200 howH4100 I should replyH1697H7725 to Him who sent meH7971.”
14DavidH1732H413 answeredH559 GadH1410, “I am deeplyH3966 distressedH6862. PleaseH4994, let us fallH5307 into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, forH3588 His merciesH7356 are greatH7227; but do notH408 let me fallH5307 into the handsH3027 of menH120.”
15So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a plagueH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from that morningH1242 untilH5704 the appointedH4150 timeH6256, and seventyH7657 thousandH505 of the peopleH5971 fromH4480 DanH1835 toH5704 BeershebaH884 diedH4191.2
