1 Chronicles 21:14-27

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.

18Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should goH5927 upH5927, and rear an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.

19And DavidH1732 wentH5927 upH5927 at the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, whichH834 he spake in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.

20And OrnanH771 turnedH7725 backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 that were with him hidH2244 themselvesH2244. Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406.

21And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH7200 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and wentH3318 outH3318 of the threshing-floor, and bowedH7812 himselfH7812 to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.

22Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GiveH5414 meH413 the placeH4725 of this threshing-floor, that I may buildH1129 thereonH5921 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068: for the fullH4392 priceH3701 shalt thou giveH5414 it meH413: that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971.

23And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and letH5414 my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 that whichH5869 is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: lo, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 for burntH5930 offeringsH4503, and the threshingH4173 instruments for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the mealH4503 offering; I giveH5414 it allH3605.

24And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verily buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701: for I will notH3808 takeH5375 that whichH834 is thine for the LORDH3068, norH3808 offerH5927 a burntH5930 offering withoutH3808 costH2600.

25SoH5414 DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948.

26And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH8002 and peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, and calledH7121 uponH5921 the LORDH3068; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 uponH5921 the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offering.

27And the LORDH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397; and he putH7725 upH413 his swordH2719 againH7725 intoH413 the sheathH5084 thereof.
