1 Chronicles 21:14-17

14SoH5414 the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 uponH5307 IsraelH3478: and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.

15And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was aboutH5921 to destroyH7843, the LORDH3068 beheld, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the destroyingH7843 angelH4397, It is enoughH7227; nowH6258 stayH5975 thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 by the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.

16And DavidH1732 liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standH5975 betweenH996 the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretchedH5186 outH5186 everH5375 JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205, clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 uponH5921 their facesH6440.

17And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it notH3808 I that commandedH559 the peopleH5971 to be numberedH4487? evenH3808 I it is that have sinnedH2398 and doneH6213 very wickedly; but theseH428 sheepH6629, whatH4100 have they doneH6213? letH4994 thine handH3027, I prayH4994 thee, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, be againstH413 meH413, and againstH413 my father’sH1 houseH1004; but notH3808 againstH413 thy peopleH5971, that they should be plaguedH4046.
