1 Chronicles 21:9-19

9And Jehovah spokeH1696 to GadH1410, David's seerH2374, sayingH559,

10Go and speakH1696 to DavidH1732 sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: I offerH6213 thee threeH7969 [thingsH7969]; chooseH977 oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto thee.

11And GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah:

12Choose thee, either threeH7969 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, or threeH7969 monthsH2320 to be destroyedH7843 before thine adversaries while that the swordH2719 of thine enemiesH341 overtaketh thee, or threeH7969 daysH3117 the swordH2719 of Jehovah and the pestilenceH1698 in the landH776, and the angelH4397 of Jehovah destroyingH7843 through all the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478. And nowH6258 considerH7200 what wordH1697 I shall bringH7725 again to him that sentH7971 me.

13And DavidH1732 saidH559 to GadH1410, I am in a great strait: let me fallH5307, I pray thee, into the handH3027 of Jehovah, for his mercies are veryH3966 great; but let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120.

14And Jehovah sent a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478; and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.

15And 1GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 to JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it; and as he was destroyingH7843, Jehovah beheld, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843, It is enoughH7227; withdraw nowH6258 thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of Jehovah stoodH5975 by the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.

16And DavidH1732 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of Jehovah standH5975 between the earthH776 and the heavensH8064, and his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027, stretchedH5186 out over JerusalemH3389. And DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205, clothed in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 on their facesH6440.

17And DavidH1732 saidH559 to 2GodH430, Is it not I that commanded the peopleH5971 to beH1961 numberedH4487? It is I that have sinnedH2398 and done evilH7489; but these sheepH6629, what have they done? Let thy handH3027, I pray thee, Jehovah my 3GodH430, beH1961 on me and on my father's houseH1004; but not on thy peopleH5971, that they should beH1961 smitten.

18And the angelH4397 of Jehovah commanded GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should goH5927 up and rear an altarH4196 to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.

19And DavidH1732 wentH5927 up at the saying of GadH1410, which he had spokenH1696 in the nameH8034 of Jehovah.
