1
And Satan
stood up
against
Israel
,
and provoked
David
to number
Israel
.
2
And David
said
to Joab
and to the rulers
of the people
,
Go
,
number
Israel
from Beersheba
even to Dan
;
and bring
the
number
of them to me, that I may know
it
.
3
And Joab
answered
,
The LORD
make his people
an hundred
times
so many more
as they
be
: but,
my lord
the king
,
are
they not
all
my lord
's
servants? why then doth
my lord
require
this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass
to
Israel
?
4
Nevertheless the king's
word
prevailed
against
Joab
.
Wherefore Joab
departed
,
and went
throughout
all
Israel
,
and came
to Jerusalem
.
5
And Joab
gave
the sum
of the number
of the people
unto David
.
And all
they of
Israel
were a thousand
thousand and an hundred thousand
men
that drew
sword
:
and Judah
was
four
hundred threescore and ten thousand
men
that drew
sword
.
6
But Levi
and Benjamin
counted
he not among
them: for the king's
word
was abominable
to Joab
.
7
And God
was displeased
with
this
thing
;
therefore he smote
Israel
.
8
And David
said
unto God
,
I have sinned
greatly
,
because I have done
this
thing
: but
now
, I beseech thee, do away
the iniquity
of thy servant
;
for I have done very
foolishly
.
9
And the LORD
spake
unto Gad
,
David's
seer
,
saying
,
10
Go
and tell
David
,
saying
,
Thus
saith
the LORD
,
I offer
thee three
things
: choose
thee one
of them,
that I may do
it
unto thee.
11
So Gad
came
to David
,
and said
unto him,
Thus
saith
the LORD
,
Choose
thee
12
Either three
years'
famine
;
or three
months
to be destroyed
before
thy foes
,
while that
the sword
of thine enemies
overtaketh
thee
; or
else three
days
the sword
of the LORD
,
even the pestilence
,
in the land
,
and the angel
of the LORD
destroying
throughout
all
the coasts
of Israel
.
Now
therefore
advise
thyself
what
word
I shall bring again
to him that sent
me.
13
And David
said
unto Gad
,
I am in a
great
strait:
let me fall
now
into the hand
of the LORD
;
for very
great
are
his mercies
:
but let me not fall
into the hand
of man
.
14
So the LORD
sent
pestilence
upon Israel
:
and there fell
of Israel
seventy
thousand
men
.
15
And God
sent
an angel
unto Jerusalem
to destroy
it: and as he was destroying,
the LORD
beheld
,
and he repented
him of the evil,
and said
to the angel
that destroyed
,
It is enough
,
stay
now
thine hand
.
And the angel
of
the LORD
stood
by the threshingfloor
of Ornan
the Jebusite
.
16
And David
lifted up
his eyes
,
and saw
the angel
of the LORD
stand
between
the earth
and the heaven
,
having a drawn
sword
in his hand
stretched out
over
Jerusalem
.
Then David
and the elders
of Israel, who were
clothed
in sackcloth
,
fell
upon their faces
.
17
And David
said
unto God
,
Is it
not I
that
commanded
the people
to be numbered
? even I it is that have sinned
and done evil
indeed
;
but
as for
these
sheep
,
what
have they done
? let thine hand
, I pray thee, O LORD
my God
, be on me, and on my father's
house
;
but not on thy 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 set up
an altar
unto the LORD
in the threshingfloor
of Ornan
the Jebusite
.
19
And David
went up
at the saying
of Gad
,
which
he spake
in the name
of the LORD
.
20
And Ornan
turned back
,
and saw
the angel
;
and his four
sons
with him hid
themselves. Now Ornan
was threshing
wheat
.
21
And as
David
came
to
Ornan
,
Ornan
looked
and saw
David
,
and went out
of the threshingfloor
,
and bowed
himself to
David
with
his
face
to the ground
.
22
Then David
said
to Ornan
,
Grant
me the place
of
this
threshingfloor
,
that I may build
an altar
therein unto the LORD
:
thou shalt grant
it me for the full
price
:
that the plague
may be stayed
from the people
.
23
And Ornan
said
unto David
,
Take
it
to thee, and let my
lo
rd
the king
do
that which is
good
in his eyes
:
lo
,
I give
thee
the oxen
also
for burnt offerings
,
and the threshing instruments
for wood
,
and the wheat
for the meat offering
;
I give
it
all
.
24
And king
David
said
to Ornan
, Nay; but I will verily
buy
it for the full
price
:
for I will not take
that
which
is
thine for the LORD
,
nor offer
burnt offerings
without cost
.
25
So David
gave
to Ornan
for the place
six
hundred
shekels
of gold
by weight
.
26
And David
built
there
an altar
unto the LORD
,
and offered
burnt offerings
and peace offerings
,
and called
upon the LORD
;
and he answered
him from heaven
by fire
upon the altar
of burnt offering
.
27
And the LORD
commanded
the angel
; and he put up
his sword
again
into the sheath
thereof.
28
At that time
when David
saw
that the LORD
had answered
him in the threshingfloor
of Ornan
the Jebusite
,
then he sacrificed
there
.
29
For the tabernacle
of the LORD
,
which
Moses
made
in the wilderness
,
and the altar
of the burnt offering
,
were
at that season
in the high place
at Gibeon
.
30
But David
could
not
go
before
it to inquire
of God
:
for he was afraid
because
of the sword
of the angel
of the LORD
.
