2 Samuel 24:11-19

11And when DavidH1732 roseH6965 upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David’sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,

12GoH1980 and speakH1696 unto DavidH1732, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, I offerH6213 thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977 thee one of them, that I may doH6213 it unto thee.

13SoH7971 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 thy foes whileH1961 they pursueH7291 thee? or shall there be threeH7969 daysH3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? nowH6258 advise thee, and considerH7200 whatH4100 answerH7725 I shall returnH7725 to him that sentH7971 meH413.

14And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 strait: letH4994 usH4994 fallH5307 nowH4994 intoH413 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH3966: and letH4994 meH413 notH408 fallH5307 intoH413 the handH3027 of manH120.

15SoH4480 the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 uponH1698 IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 evenH5704 to the time appointedH4150: and there diedH4191 of the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 evenH5704 to Beer-sheba seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.

16And when the angelH4397 stretchedH7971 outH7971 his handH3027 towardH413 JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it, the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843 the peopleH5971, It is enoughH7227; nowH6258 stay thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 was by the threshing-floor of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.

17And DavidH1732 spake unto the LORDH3068 when he sawH7200 the angelH4397 that smoteH5221 the peopleH5971, and saidH559, LoH2009, I have sinnedH2398, and I have doneH6213 perversely: but theseH428 sheepH6629, whatH4100 have they doneH6213? letH4994 thine handH3027, I prayH4994 thee, be againstH413 meH413, and againstH413 my father’sH1 houseH1004.

18And GadH1410 cameH935 that dayH3117 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, GoH935 upH5927, rear an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshing-floor of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.

19And DavidH1732 wentH5927 upH5927 according to the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
