[1]And againH3254[H8686] the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734[H8800] against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496[H8686] DavidH1732 against them to sayH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798], numberH4487[H8798] IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
[2]For the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] to JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH2428, which was with him, Go now throughH7751[H8798] all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, and numberH6485[H8798] ye the peopleH5971, that I may knowH3045[H8804] the numberH4557 of the peopleH5971.
[3]And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, Now the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 addH3254[H8686] unto the peopleH5971, how many soeverH1992 they be, an hundredfoldH3967[H6471], and that the eyesH5869 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 may seeH7200[H8802] it: but why doth my lordH113 the kingH4428 delightH2654[H8804] in this thingH1697?
[4]Notwithstanding the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388[H8799] against JoabH3097, and against the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428. And JoabH3097 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 went outH3318[H8799] from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, to numberH6485[H8800] the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478.
[5]And they passed overH5674[H8799] JordanH3383, and pitchedH2583[H8799] in AroerH6177, on the right sideH3225 of the cityH5892 that lieth in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158 of GadH1410, and toward JazerH3270:
[6]Then they cameH935[H8799] to GileadH1568, and to the landH776 of TahtimhodshiH8483; and they cameH935[H8799] to DanjaanH1842, and aboutH5439 to ZidonH6721,
[7]And cameH935[H8799] to the strong holdH4013 of TyreH6865, and to all the citiesH5892 of the HivitesH2340, and of the CanaanitesH3669: and they went outH3318[H8799] to the southH5045 of JudahH3063, even to BeershebaH884.
[8]So when they had goneH7751[H8799] through all the landH776, they cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389 at the endH7097 of nineH8672 monthsH2320 and twentyH6242 daysH3117.
[9]And JoabH3097 gave upH5414[H8799] the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto the kingH4428: and there were in IsraelH3478 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 valiantH2428 menH376[H8677][H381] that drewH8025[H8802] the swordH2719; and the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376.
[10]And David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221[H8686] him afterH310 that he had numberedH5608[H8804] the peopleH5971. And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398[H8804] greatlyH3966 in that I have doneH6213[H8804]: and now, I beseech thee, O LORDH3068, take awayH5674[H8685] the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.[H8738]
[11]For when DavidH1732 was upH6965[H8799] in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,[H8800]
[12]GoH1980[H8800] and sayH559[H8804] unto DavidH1732, Thus saithH1696[H8765] the LORDH3068, I offerH5190[H8802] thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977[H8798] thee oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto theeH6213.[H8799]
[13]So GadH1410 cameH935[H8799] to DavidH1732, and toldH5046[H8686] him, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Shall sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 comeH935[H8799] unto thee in thy landH776? or wilt thou fleeH5127[H8800] threeH7969 monthsH2320 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH6862, while they pursueH7291[H8802] thee? or that there be threeH7969 days'H3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? now adviseH3045[H8798], and seeH7200[H8798] what answerH1697 I shall returnH7725[H8686] to him that sentH7971 meH8802.
[14]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887[H8804]: let us fallH5307[H8799] now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH7227: and let me not fallH5307[H8799] into the handH3027 of manH120.
[15]So the LORDH3068 sentH5414[H8799] a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 even to the timeH6256 appointedH4150: and there diedH4191[H8799] of the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
[16]And when the angelH4397 stretched outH7971[H8799] his handH3027 upon JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843[H8763] it, the LORDH3068 repentedH5162[H8735] him of the evilH7451, and saidH559[H8799] to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843[H8688] the peopleH5971, It is enoughH7227: stayH7503[H8685] now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 was by the threshingplaceH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.
[17]And DavidH1732 spakeH559[H8799] unto the LORDH3068 when he sawH7200[H8800] the angelH4397 that smoteH5221[H8688] the peopleH5971, and saidH559[H8799], Lo, I have sinnedH2398[H8804], and I have done wickedlyH5753[H8689]: but these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213[H8804]? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father'sH1 houseH1004.
[18]And GadH1410 cameH935[H8799] that dayH3117 to DavidH1732, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Go upH5927[H8798], rearH6965[H8685] an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.
[19]And DavidH1732, according to the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, went upH5927[H8799] as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.[H8765]
[20]And AraunahH728 lookedH8259[H8686], and sawH7200[H8799] the kingH4428 and his servantsH5650 coming onH5674[H8802] toward him: and AraunahH728 went outH3318[H8799], and bowedH7812[H8691] himself before the kingH4428 on his faceH639 upon the groundH776.
[21]And AraunahH728 saidH559[H8799], Wherefore is my lordH113 the kingH4428 comeH935[H8804] to his servantH5650? And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], To buyH7069[H8800] the threshingfloorH1637 of thee, to buildH1129[H8800] an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113[H8735] from the peopleH5971.
[22]And AraunahH728 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, Let my lordH113 the kingH4428 takeH3947[H8799] and offer upH5927[H8686] what seemeth goodH2896 unto himH5869: beholdH7200[H8798], here be oxenH1241 for burnt sacrificeH5930, and threshing instrumentsH4173 and other instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241 for woodH6086.
[23]All these things did AraunahH728, as a kingH4428, giveH5414[H8804] unto the kingH4428. And AraunahH728 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 acceptH7521 theeH8799.
[24]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto AraunahH728, Nay; but I will surelyH7069[H8800] buyH7069[H8799] it of thee at a priceH4242: neither will I offerH5927[H8686] burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430 of that which doth cost me nothingH2600. So DavidH1732 boughtH7069[H8799] the threshingfloorH1637 and the oxenH1241 for fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701.
[25]And DavidH1732 builtH1129[H8799] there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927[H8686] burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002. So the LORDH3068 was intreatedH6279[H8735] for the landH776, and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113[H8735] from IsraelH3478.
