2 Samuel 24:12-13

12"Go and say to David, 'Thus says the Lord, Three things I offer you. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.'"

13So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, "Shall three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider, and decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me."
