1
Then Satan
stood
up against
Israel
and moved
David
to number
Israel
.
2
So David
said
to Joab
and to the princes
of the people,
"Go,
number
Israel
from Beersheba
even to Dan,
and bring
me word that I may know
their
number
."
3
Joab
said,
"May the LORD
add
to His people
a hundred
times
as many as they are! But, my lord
the king,
are they not all
my lord's
servants?
Why
does my lord
seek
this thing?
Why
should he be a cause of guilt
to Israel?"
4
Nevertheless, the king's
word
prevailed
against
Joab.
Therefore, Joab
departed
and went
throughout all
Israel,
and came
to Jerusalem.
5
Joab
gave
the number
of the census
of all the people
to David.
And all
Israel
were 1,100,000
men
who drew
the sword;
and Judah
was 470,000
men
who drew
the sword.
6
But he did not number
Levi
and Benjamin
among
them, for the king's
command
was abhorrent
to Joab.
7
God
was displeased
with this
thing,
so He struck
Israel.
8
David
said
to God,
"I have sinned
greatly,
in that I have done
this
thing.
But now,
please
take away
the iniquity
of Your servant,
for I have done
very
foolishly."
9
The LORD
spoke
to Gad,
David's
seer,
saying,
10
"Go
and speak
to David,
saying,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"I offer
you three things;
choose
for yourself one
of them, which I will do
to you."'"
11
So Gad
came
to David
and said
to him, "Thus
says
the LORD,
'Take
for yourself
12
either
three
years
of famine,
or
three
months
to be swept away
before
your foes,
while the sword
of your enemies
overtakes
you, or else
three
days
of the sword
of the LORD
,
even pestilence
in the land,
and the angel
of the LORD
destroying
throughout all
the territory
of Israel.'
Now,
therefore, consider
what
answer
I shall return
to Him who sent
me."
13
David
said
to Gad,
"I am in great
distress;
please
let me fall
into the hand
of the LORD,
for His mercies
are very
great.
But do not
let me fall
into the hand
of man."
14
So the LORD
sent
a pestilence
on Israel;
70,000
men
of Israel
fell.
15
And God
sent
an angel
to Jerusalem
to destroy
it; but as he was about
to destroy
it, the LORD
saw
and was sorry
over
the calamity,
and said
to the destroying
angel,
"It is enough;
now
relax
your hand."
And the angel
of the LORD
was standing
by the threshing floor
of Ornan
the Jebusite.
16
Then David
lifted
up his eyes
and saw
the angel
of the LORD
standing
between
earth
and heaven,
with his drawn
sword
in his hand
stretched
out over
Jerusalem.
Then David
and the elders,
covered
with sackcloth,
fell
on their faces.
17
David
said
to God,
"Is it not I who commanded
to count
the people?
Indeed, I am the one who
has sinned
and done
very wickedly,
but these
sheep,
what
have they done?
O LORD
my God,
please
let Your hand
be against me and my father's
household,
but not against Your people
that they should be plagued."
18
Then the angel
of the LORD
commanded
Gad
to say
to David,
that David
should go
up and build
an altar
to the LORD
on the threshing floor
of Ornan
the Jebusite.
19
So David
went
up at the word
of Gad,
which
he spoke
in the name
of the LORD.
20
Now Ornan
turned back
and saw
the angel,
and his four
sons
who were with him hid
themselves. And Ornan
was threshing
wheat.
21
As David
came
to
Ornan
,
Ornan
looked
and saw
David,
and went
out from the threshing floor
and prostrated
himself before David
with his face
to the ground.
22
Then David
said
to Ornan,
"Give
me the site
of this threshing floor,
that I may build
on it an altar
to the LORD;
for the full
price
you shall give
it to me, that the plague
may be restrained
from the people."
23
Ornan
said
to David,
"Take
it for yourself; and let my lord
the king
do
what is good
in his sight.
See,
I will give
the oxen
for burnt offerings
and the threshing sledges
for wood
and the wheat
for the grain offering;
I will give
it all."
24
But King
David
said
to Ornan,
"No,
but I will surely
buy
it for the full
price;
for I will not take
what
is yours for the LORD,
or offer
a burnt offering
which costs me nothing."
25
So David
gave
Ornan
600
shekels
of gold
by weight
for the site.
26
Then David
built
an altar
to the LORD
there
and offered
burnt
offerings
and peace
offerings
.
And he called
to the LORD
and He answered
him with fire
from heaven
on the altar
of
burnt
offering.
27
The LORD
commanded
the angel,
and he put
his sword
back
in its sheath.
28
At that time,
when David
saw
that the LORD
had answered
him on the threshing floor
of Ornan
the Jebusite,
he offered sacrifice
there.
29
For the tabernacle
of the LORD,
which
Moses
had made
in the wilderness,
and the altar
of burnt offering
were in the high place
at Gibeon
at that time.
30
But David
could
not go
before
it to inquire
of God,
for he was terrified
by the sword
of the angel
of the LORD.
