1 Chronicles 21:16-19

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, 1coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, fellH5307 on their facesH6440. 17DavidH1732 saidH559 to GodH430, “Is it not I who 2commandedH559 to countH4487 the peopleH5971? Indeed, I am the one whoH834 has sinnedH2398 and doneH7489 veryH7489 wickedlyH7489, 3but 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.”

184Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 5commandedH559 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.
