2 Samuel 24:16-18
16But when the angelH4397 stretchedH7971 out his handH3027 to destroyH7843 JerusalemH3389, the LORDH3068 relentedH5162 fromH413 the calamityH7451 and saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was destroyingH7843 the peopleH5971, “EnoughH7227! WithdrawH7503 your handH3027 nowH6258!” At that time the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 wasH1961 byH5973 the threshing floorH1637 of AraunahH7281 the JebusiteH2983.
17When DavidH1732 sawH7200 the angelH4397 striking downH5221 the peopleH5971H559, he saidH559 toH413 the LORDH3068, “SurelyH2009 IH595, the shepherd,2 have sinnedH2398 andH595 acted wickedlyH5753. But theseH428 sheepH6629, whatH4100 have they doneH6213? PleaseH4994, let Your handH3027 fall uponH1961 me and my father’sH1 houseH1004.”
18And thatH1931 dayH3117 GadH1410 cameH935 toH413 DavidH1732 and saidH559 to him, “Go upH5927 and buildH6965 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 on the threshing floorH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.”
