1 Chronicles 21:14-28

141So the LordH3068 2sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 on IsraelH3478; 70,000H7657H505 menH376 of IsraelH3478 fellH5307. 15And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 to JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it; but as he was about to destroyH7843 it, the LordH3068 sawH7200 and 3was sorryH5162 overH5921 the calamityH7463, and saidH559 to the destroyingH7843 angelH4397, “It is enoughH7227; nowH6258 relaxH7503 your handH3027.” And the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 was standingH5975 by the threshingH1637 floorH1637 of 4OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 16Then DavidH1732 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 standingH5975 betweenH996 earthH776 and heavenH8064, with his drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretchedH5186 out overH5921 JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205, 5coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, fellH5307 on their facesH6440. 17DavidH1732 saidH559 to GodH430, “Is it not I who 6commandedH559 to countH4487 the peopleH5971? Indeed, I am the one whoH834 has sinnedH2398 and doneH7489 veryH7489 wickedlyH7489, 7but theseH428 sheepH6629, whatH4100 have they doneH6213? O LordH3068 my GodH430, pleaseH4994 let Your handH3027 be against me and my father’sH1 householdH1004, but not against Your peopleH5971 that they should be plaguedH4046.”

188Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 9commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should goH5927 up and buildH6965 an altarH4196 to the LordH3068 on the threshingH1637 floorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 19So DavidH1732 wentH5927 up at the wordH1697 of GadH1410, whichH834 he spokeH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068. 20Now OrnanH771 turnedH7725 backH7725 and sawH7200 the angelH4397, and his fourH702 sonsH1121 who were with him hidH2244 themselves. And OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406. 21As DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and wentH3318 out from the threshingH1637 floorH1637 and prostratedH7812 himself 10before DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776. 22Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, “GiveH5414 me the 11siteH4725 of this threshingH1637 floorH1637, that I may buildH1129 on it an altarH4196 to the LordH3068; for the fullH4392 priceH3701 you shall giveH5414 it to me, that the plagueH4046 may be restrainedH6113 from the peopleH5971.” 23OrnanH771 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “TakeH3947 it for yourself; and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 whatH2896 is goodH2896 in his sightH5869. SeeH7200, I will giveH5414 the oxenH1241 for burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and the threshingH4173 sledgesH4173 for woodH6086 and the wheatH2406 for the grain offeringH4503; I will giveH5414 it allH3605.” 24But KingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, “NoH3808, but I will surelyH7069 buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701; for I will not takeH5375 whatH834 is yours for the LordH3068, or offerH5927 a burntH5930 offeringH5930 12whichH2600 costsH2600 me nothingH2600.” 25So 13DavidH1732 gaveH5414 OrnanH771 600H8337H3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948 for the 14siteH4725. 26Then DavidH1732 builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LordH3068 thereH8033 and offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and peaceH8002 offeringsH8002. And he calledH7121 to the LordH3068 and 15He answeredH6030 him with fireH784 from heavenH8064 on the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930. 27The LordH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397, and he putH7725 his swordH2719 backH7725 in its sheathH5084.

28At that timeH6256, when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that the LordH3068 had answeredH6030 him on the threshingH1637 floorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, he offeredH2076 sacrificeH2076 thereH8033.
