2 Samuel 24:11-19
11For when DavidH1732 was upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David’sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559, 12GoH1980 and sayH559 unto DavidH1732, Thus saithH1696 YhwhH3068, I offerH5190 thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977 thee oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto theeH6213. 13So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and toldH5046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Shall sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 comeH935 unto thee in thy landH776? or wilt thou fleeH5127 threeH7969 monthsH2320 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH6862, while they pursueH7291 thee? or that there be threeH7969 days’H3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? now adviseH3045, and seeH7200 what answerH1697 I shall returnH7725 to him that sentH7971 me. 14And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let us fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of YhwhH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH7227: and let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120.1
15So YhwhH3068 sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 even to the timeH6256 appointedH4150: and there diedH4191 of the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 even to Beer–shebaH884 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376. 16And when the angelH4397 stretched outH7971 his handH3027 upon JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it, YhwhH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843 the peopleH5971, It is enoughH7227: stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 was by the threshingplaceH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.2 17And DavidH1732 spakeH559 unto YhwhH3068 when he sawH7200 the angelH4397 that smoteH5221 the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Lo, I have sinnedH2398, and I have done wickedlyH5753: but these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’sH1 houseH1004.
18And GadH1410 cameH935 that dayH3117 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, rearH6965 an altarH4196 unto YhwhH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.3 19And DavidH1732, according to the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, went upH5927 as YhwhH3068 commandedH6680.
