1 # And Satan <07854> stood up <05975> (8799) against Israel <03478>, and provoked <05496> (8686) David <01732> to number <04487> (8800) Israel <03478>.
2 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Joab <03097> and to the rulers <08269> of the people <05971> , Go <03212> (8798), number <05608> (8798) Israel <03478> from Beersheba <0884> even to Dan <01835>; and bring <0935> (8685) the number <04557> of them to me, that I may know <03045> (8799) it.
3 And Joab <03097> answered <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> make his people <05971> an hundred <03967> times <06471> so many more <03254> (8686) as they <01992> be: but, my lord <0113> the king <04428>, are they not all my lord's <0113> servants <05650>? why then doth my lord <0113> require <01245> (8762) this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass <0819> to Israel <03478>?
4 Nevertheless the king's <04428> word <01697> prevailed <02388> (8804) against Joab <03097>. Wherefore Joab <03097> departed <03318> (8799), and went <01980> (8691) throughout all Israel <03478>, and came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>.
5 And Joab <03097> gave <05414> (8799) the sum <04557> of the number <04662> of the people <05971> unto David <01732>. And all they of Israel <03478> were a thousand <0505> thousand <0505> and an hundred <03967> thousand <0505> men <0376> that drew <08025> (8802) sword <02719>: and Judah <03063> was four <0702> hundred <03967> threescore and ten <07657> thousand <0505> men <0376> that drew <08025> (8802) sword <02719>.
6 But Levi <03878> and Benjamin <01144> counted <06485> (8804) he not among <08432> them: for the king's <04428> word <01697> was abominable <08581> (8738) to Joab <03097>.
7 # And God <0430> was displeased <03415> (8799) <05869> with this thing <01697>; therefore he smote <05221> (8686) Israel <03478>.
8 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) unto God <0430>, I have sinned <02398> (8804) greatly <03966>, because I have done <06213> (8804) this thing <01697>: but now, I beseech thee, do away <05674> (8685) the iniquity <05771> of thy servant <05650>; for I have done very <03966> foolishly <05528> (8738).
9 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Gad <01410>, David's <01732> seer <02374>, saying <0559> (8800),
10 Go <03212> (8798) and tell <01696> (8765) David <01732>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, I offer <05186> (8802) thee three <07969> things: choose <0977> (8798) thee one <0259> of them <02007>, that I may do <06213> (8799) it unto thee.
11 So Gad <01410> came <0935> (8799) to David <01732>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Choose <06901> (8761) thee
12 Either three <07969> years <08141>' famine <07458>; or three <07969> months <02320> to be destroyed <05595> (8737) before <06440> thy foes <06862>, while that the sword <02719> of thine enemies <0341> (8802) overtaketh <05381> (8688) thee; or <0518> else three <07969> days <03117> the sword <02719> of the LORD <03068>, even the pestilence <01698>, in the land <0776>, and the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> destroying <07843> (8688) throughout all the coasts <01366> of Israel <03478>. Now therefore advise <07200> (8798) thyself what word <01697> I shall bring again <07725> (8686) to him that sent <07971> (8802) me.
13 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) unto Gad <01410>, I am in a great <03966> strait <06887> (8804): let me fall <05307> (8799) now into the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>; for very <03966> great <07227> are his mercies <07356>: but let me not fall <05307> (8799) into the hand <03027> of man <0120>.
14 So the LORD <03068> sent <05414> (8799) pestilence <01698> upon Israel <03478>: and there fell <05307> (8799) of Israel <03478> seventy <07657> thousand <0505> men <0376>.
15 And God <0430> sent <07971> (8799) an angel <04397> unto Jerusalem <03389> to destroy <07843> (8687) it: and as he was destroying <07843> (8687), the LORD <03068> beheld <07200> (8804), and he repented <05162> (8735) him of the evil <07451>, and said <0559> (8799) to the angel <04397> that destroyed <07843> (8688), It is enough <07227>, stay <07503> (8685) now thine hand <03027>. And the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> stood <05975> (8802) by the threshingfloor <01637> of Ornan <0771> the Jebusite <02983>.

16 And David <01732> lifted up <05375> (8799) his eyes <05869>, and saw <07200> (8799) the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> stand <05975> (8802) between the earth <0776> and the heaven <08064>, having a drawn <08025> (8803) sword <02719> in his hand <03027> stretched out <05186> (8803) over Jerusalem <03389>. Then David <01732> and the elders <02205> of Israel, who were clothed <03680> (8794) in sackcloth <08242>, fell <05307> (8799) upon their faces <06440>.
17 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) unto God <0430>, Is it not I that commanded <0559> (8804) the people <05971> to be numbered <04487> (8800)? even I it is that have sinned <02398> (8804) and done evil <07489> (8689) indeed <07489> (8687); but as for these sheep <06629>, what have they done <06213> (8804)? let thine hand <03027>, I pray thee, O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, be on me, and on my father's <01> house <01004>; but not on thy people <05971> , that they should be plagued <04046>.
18 # Then the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> commanded <0559> (8804) Gad <01410> to say <0559> (8800) to David <01732>, that David <01732> should go up <05927> (8799), and set up <06965> (8687) an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068> in the threshingfloor <01637> of Ornan <0771> the Jebusite <02983>.
19 And David <01732> went up <05927> (8799) at the saying <01697> of Gad <01410>, which he spake <01696> (8765) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.
20 And Ornan <0771> turned back <07725> (8799), and saw <07200> (8799) the angel <04397>; and his four <0702> sons <01121> with him hid <02244> (8693) themselves. Now Ornan <0771> was threshing <01758> (8804) wheat <02406>.
21 And as David <01732> came <0935> (8799) to Ornan <0771>, Ornan <0771> looked <05027> (8686) and saw <07200> (8799) David <01732>, and went out <03318> (8799) of the threshingfloor <01637>, and bowed <07812> (8691) himself to David <01732> with his face <0639> to the ground <0776>.
22 Then David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Ornan <0771>, Grant <05414> (8798) me the place <04725> of this threshingfloor <01637>, that I may build <01129> (8799) an altar <04196> therein unto the LORD <03068>: thou shalt grant <05414> (8798) it me for the full <04392> price <03701>: that the plague <04046> may be stayed <06113> (8735) from the people <05971>.
23 And Ornan <0771> said <0559> (8799) unto David <01732>, Take <03947> (8798) it to thee, and let my lord <0113> the king <04428> do <06213> (8799) that which is good <02896> in his eyes <05869>: lo <07200> (8798), I give <05414> (8804) thee the oxen <01241> also for burnt offerings <05930>, and the threshing instruments <04173> for wood <06086>, and the wheat <02406> for the meat offering <04503>; I give <05414> (8804) it all.
24 And king <04428> David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Ornan <0771>, Nay; but I will verily <07069> (8800) buy <07069> (8799) it for the full <04392> price <03701>: for I will not take <05375> (8799) that which is thine for the LORD <03068>, nor offer <05927> (8687) burnt offerings <05930> without cost <02600>.
25 So David <01732> gave <05414> (8799) to Ornan <0771> for the place <04725> six <08337> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of gold <02091> by weight <04948>.
26 And David <01732> built <01129> (8799) there an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>, and offered <05927> (8686) burnt offerings <05930> and peace offerings <08002>, and called <07121> (8799) upon the LORD <03068>; and he answered <06030> (8799) him from heaven <08064> by fire <0784> upon the altar <04196> of burnt offering <05930>.
27 And the LORD <03068> commanded <0559> (8799) the angel <04397>; and he put up <07725> <00> his sword <02719> again <07725> (8686) into the sheath <05084> thereof.
28 At that time <06256> when David <01732> saw <07200> (8800) that the LORD <03068> had answered <06030> (8804) him in the threshingfloor <01637> of Ornan <0771> the Jebusite <02983>, then he sacrificed <02076> (8799) there.
29 For the tabernacle <04908> of the LORD <03068>, which Moses <04872> made <06213> (8804) in the wilderness <04057>, and the altar <04196> of the burnt offering <05930>, were at that season <06256> in the high place <01116> at Gibeon <01391>.
30 But David <01732> could <03201> (8804) not go <03212> (8800) before <06440> it to enquire <01875> (8800) of God <0430>: for he was afraid <01204> (8738) because <06440> of the sword <02719> of the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068>.
