Context of 1 Chronicles 21:10

8David said to God, “I have committed a terrible sin by doing this thing. Forgive me because I have acted very foolishly.” 9The Lord spoke to Gad, David’s seer. “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I’m offering you three choices. Choose the one you want me to do to you.’ ” 11When Gad came to David, he said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Take your pick: 12either three years of famine, or three months during which your enemies will chase you away when their swords catch up to you, or three days of the Lord’s sword—a plague in the land with the Messenger of the Lord destroying the whole country of Israel.’ Decide what answer I should give the one who sent me.”
