I Chronicles 21 (kjv)

And Satan^H7854 stood up^H5975 against Israel^H3478, and provoked^H5496 David^H1732 to number^H4487 Israel^H3478.²And David^H1732 said^H559 to Joab^H3097 and to the rulers^H8269 of the people^H5971, Go^H3212, number^H5608 Israel^H3478 from Beersheba^H884 even to Dan^H1835; and bring^H935 the number^H4557 of them to me, that I may know^H3045 it.³And Joab^H3097 answered^H559, The LORD^H3068 make his people^H5971 an hundred^H3967 times^H6471 so many more^H3254 as they^H1992 be: but, my lord^H113 the king^H4428, are they not all my lord's^H113 servants^H5650? why then doth my lord^H113 require^H1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass^H819 to Israel^H3478?⁴Nevertheless the king's^H4428 word^H1697 prevailed^H2388 against Joab^H3097. Wherefore Joab^H3097 departed^H3318, and went^H1980 throughout all Israel^H3478, and came^H935 to Jerusalem^H3389.

⁵And Joab^H3097 gave^H5414 the sum^H4557 of the number^H4662 of the people^H5971 unto David^H1732. And all they of Israel^H3478 were a thousand^H505 thousand^H505 and an hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 men^H376 that drew^H8025 sword^H2719: and Judah^H3063 was four^H702 hundred^H3967 threescore and ten^H7657 thousand^H505 men^H376 that drew^H8025 sword^H2719.⁶But Levi^H3878 and Benjamin^H1144 counted^H6485 he not among^H8432 them: for the king's^H4428 word^H1697 was abominable^H8581 to Joab^H3097.⁷And God^H430 was displeased^{H3415 H5869} with this thing^H1697; therefore he smote^H5221 Israel^H3478.⁸And David^H1732 said^H559 unto God^H430, I have sinned^H2398 greatly^H3966, because I have done^H6213 this thing^H1697: but now, I beseech thee, do away^H5674 the iniquity^H5771 of thy servant^H5650; for I have done very^H3966 foolishly^H5528.

⁹And the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Gad^H1410, David's^H1732 seer^H2374, saying^H559,¹⁰Go^H3212 and tell^H1696 David^H1732, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, I offer^H5186 thee three^H7969 things: choose^H977 thee one^H259 of them^H2007, that I may do^H6213 it unto thee.¹¹So Gad^H1410 came^H935 to David^H1732, and said^H559 unto him, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, Choose^H6901 thee¹²Either three^H7969 years^H8141' famine^H7458; or three^H7969 months^H2320 to be destroyed^H5595 before^H6440 thy foes^H6862, while that the sword^H2719 of thine enemies^H341 overtaketh^H5381 thee; or^H518 else three^H7969 days^H3117 the sword^H2719 of the LORD^H3068, even the pestilence^H1698, in the land^H776, and the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 destroying^H7843 throughout all the coasts^H1366 of Israel^H3478. Now therefore advise^H7200 thyself what word^H1697 I shall bring again^H7725 to him that sent^H7971 me.¹³And David^H1732 said^H559 unto Gad^H1410, I am in a great^H3966 strait^H6887: let me fall^H5307 now into the hand^H3027 of the LORD^H3068; for very^H3966 great^H7227 are his mercies^H7356: but let me not fall^H5307 into the hand^H3027 of man^H120.

¹⁴So the LORD^H3068 sent^H5414 pestilence^H1698 upon Israel^H3478: and there fell^H5307 of Israel^H3478 seventy^H7657 thousand^H505 men^H376.¹⁵And God^H430 sent^H7971 an angel^H4397 unto Jerusalem^H3389 to destroy^H7843 it: and as he was destroying^H7843, the LORD^H3068 beheld^H7200, and he repented^H5162 him of the evil^H7451, and said^H559 to the angel^H4397 that destroyed^H7843, It is enough^H7227, stay^H7503 now thine hand^H3027. And the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 stood^H5975 by the threshingfloor^H1637 of Ornan^H771 the Jebusite^H2983.¹⁶And David^H1732 lifted up^H5375 his eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200 the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 stand^H5975 between the earth^H776 and the heaven^H8064, having a drawn^H8025 sword^H2719 in his hand^H3027 stretched out^H5186 over Jerusalem^H3389. Then David^H1732 and the elders^H2205 of Israel, who were clothed^H3680 in sackcloth^H8242, fell^H5307 upon their faces^H6440.¹⁷And David^H1732 said^H559 unto God^H430, Is it not I that commanded^H559 the people^H5971 to be numbered^H4487? even I it is that have sinned^H2398 and done evil^H7489 indeed^H7489; but as for these sheep^H6629, what have they done^H6213? let thine hand^H3027, I pray thee, O LORD^H3068 my God^H430, be on me, and on my father's^H1 house^H1004; but not on thy people^H5971, that they should be plagued^H4046.

¹⁸Then the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 commanded^H559 Gad^H1410 to say^H559 to David^H1732, that David^H1732 should go up^H5927, and set up^H6965 an altar^H4196 unto the LORD^H3068 in the threshingfloor^H1637 of Ornan^H771 the Jebusite^H2983.¹⁹And David^H1732 went up^H5927 at the saying^H1697 of Gad^H1410, which he spake^H1696 in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068.²⁰And Ornan^H771 turned back^H7725, and saw^H7200 the angel^H4397; and his four^H702 sons^H1121 with him hid^H2244 themselves. Now Ornan^H771 was threshing^H1758 wheat^H2406.²¹And as David^H1732 came^H935 to Ornan^H771, Ornan^H771 looked^H5027 and saw^H7200 David^H1732, and went out^H3318 of the threshingfloor^H1637, and bowed^H7812 himself to David^H1732 with his face^H639 to the ground^H776.²²Then David^H1732 said^H559 to Ornan^H771, Grant^H5414 me the place^H4725 of this threshingfloor^H1637, that I may build^H1129 an altar^H4196 therein unto the LORD^H3068: thou shalt grant^H5414 it me for the full^H4392 price^H3701: that the plague^H4046 may be stayed^H6113 from the people^H5971.²³And Ornan^H771 said^H559 unto David^H1732, Take^H3947 it to thee, and let my lord^H113 the king^H4428 do^H6213 that which is good^H2896 in his eyes^H5869: lo^H7200, I give^H5414 thee the oxen^H1241 also for burnt offerings^H5930, and the threshing instruments^H4173 for wood^H6086, and the wheat^H2406 for the meat offering^H4503; I give^H5414 it all.²⁴And king^H4428 David^H1732 said^H559 to Ornan^H771, Nay; but I will verily^H7069 buy^H7069 it for the full^H4392 price^H3701: for I will not take^H5375 that which is thine for the LORD^H3068, nor offer^H5927 burnt offerings^H5930 without cost^H2600.²⁵So David^H1732 gave^H5414 to Ornan^H771 for the place^H4725 six^H8337 hundred^H3967 shekels^H8255 of gold^H2091 by weight^H4948.

²⁶And David^H1732 built^H1129 there an altar^H4196 unto the LORD^H3068, and offered^H5927 burnt offerings^H5930 and peace offerings^H8002, and called^H7121 upon the LORD^H3068; and he answered^H6030 him from heaven^H8064 by fire^H784 upon the altar^H4196 of burnt offering^H5930.²⁷And the LORD^H3068 commanded^H559 the angel^H4397; and he put up^H7725 his sword^H2719 again^H7725 into the sheath^H5084 thereof.

²⁸At that time^H6256 when David^H1732 saw^H7200 that the LORD^H3068 had answered^H6030 him in the threshingfloor^H1637 of Ornan^H771 the Jebusite^H2983, then he sacrificed^H2076 there.²⁹For the tabernacle^H4908 of the LORD^H3068, which Moses^H4872 made^H6213 in the wilderness^H4057, and the altar^H4196 of the burnt offering^H5930, were at that season^H6256 in the high place^H1116 at Gibeon^H1391.³⁰But David^H1732 could^H3201 not go^H3212 before^H6440 it to enquire^H1875 of God^H430: for he was afraid^H1204 because^H6440 of the sword^H2719 of the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068.
