1 And|strong="H3478" Satan|strong="H7854" stood|strong="H5975" up|strong="H5975" against|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478", and|strong="H3478" moved|strong="H5496" David|strong="H1732" to|strong="H3478" number|strong="H4487" Israel|strong="H3478".
2 And|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732" said to|strong="H5704" Joab|strong="H3097" and|strong="H3478" to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H3045" princes|strong="H8269" of|strong="H8269" the|strong="H3045" people|strong="H5971", Go|strong="H3212", number|strong="H4557" Israel|strong="H3478" from|strong="H3478" Beer-sheba even|strong="H5704" to|strong="H5704" Dan|strong="H1835"; and|strong="H3478" bring|strong="H3212" me|strong="H3045" word, that|strong="H3045" I|strong="H5704" may|strong="H5971" know|strong="H3045" the|strong="H3045" sum|strong="H4557" of|strong="H8269" them|strong="H5704".
3 And|strong="H3967" Joab|strong="H3097" said, Jehovah|strong="H3068" make|strong="H3254" his|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" a|strong="H3068" hundred|strong="H3967" times|strong="H6471" as|strong="H1961" many|strong="H4100" as|strong="H1961" they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992": but|strong="H3808", my|strong="H3605" lord|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428", are|strong="H1992" they|strong="H1992" not|strong="H3808" all|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" lord|strong="H3068"’s servants|strong="H5650"? why|strong="H4100" doth|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3605" lord|strong="H3068" require|strong="H1245" this|strong="H2063" thing|strong="H2063"? why|strong="H4100" will|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" cause|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4428" guilt unto|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478"?
4 Nevertheless the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428"’s word|strong="H1697" prevailed|strong="H2388" against|strong="H5921" Joab|strong="H3097". Wherefore Joab|strong="H3097" departed|strong="H1980", and|strong="H1980" went|strong="H1980" throughout|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H3478", and|strong="H1980" came|strong="H3318" to|strong="H1980" Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
5 And|strong="H3967" Joab|strong="H3097" gave|strong="H5414" up|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3605" sum|strong="H4557" of|strong="H4557" the|strong="H3605" numbering|strong="H4557" of|strong="H4557" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" unto|strong="H5414" David|strong="H1732". And|strong="H3967" all|strong="H3605" they|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4557" Israel|strong="H3478" were|strong="H3478" a|strong="H3068" thousand thousand and|strong="H3967" a|strong="H3068" hundred|strong="H3967" thousand men|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" drew|strong="H8025" sword|strong="H2719": and|strong="H3967" Judah|strong="H3063" was|strong="H1961" four hundred|strong="H3967" threescore|strong="H7657" and|strong="H3967" ten|strong="H7657" thousand men|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" drew|strong="H8025" sword|strong="H2719".
6 But|strong="H3588" Levi|strong="H3878" and|strong="H4428" Benjamin|strong="H1144" counted|strong="H6485" he|strong="H3588" not|strong="H3808" among|strong="H8432" them|strong="H8432"; for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" king|strong="H4428"’s word|strong="H1697" was|strong="H1697" abominable|strong="H8581" to|strong="H4428" Joab|strong="H3097".
7 And|strong="H3478" God was|strong="H3478" displeased|strong="H7489" with|strong="H5921" this|strong="H2088" thing|strong="H1697"; therefore|strong="H5921" he|strong="H5921" smote|strong="H5221" Israel|strong="H3478".
8 And|strong="H5650" David|strong="H1732" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H6213" God, I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5650" sinned|strong="H2398" greatly|strong="H3966", in|strong="H6213" that|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5650" done|strong="H6213" this|strong="H2088" thing|strong="H1697": but|strong="H3588" now|strong="H6258", put|strong="H6213" away|strong="H5674", I|strong="H3588" beseech|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H6213", the|strong="H3588" iniquity|strong="H5771" of|strong="H1697" thy|strong="H1732" servant|strong="H5650"; for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5650" done|strong="H6213" very|strong="H3966" foolishly|strong="H5528".
9 And|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" spake|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" Gad|strong="H1410", David|strong="H1732"’s seer|strong="H2374", saying|strong="H1696",
10 Go|strong="H3212" and|strong="H3068" speak|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" David|strong="H1732", saying|strong="H1696", Thus|strong="H3541" saith|strong="H1696" Jehovah|strong="H3068", I|strong="H3541" offer|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6213" three|strong="H7969" things|strong="H7969": choose thee|strong="H6213" one|strong="H6213" of|strong="H3068" them|strong="H5921", that|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3541" may|strong="H3068" do|strong="H6213" it|strong="H5921" unto|strong="H1696" thee|strong="H6213".
11 So|strong="H3541" Gad|strong="H1410" came|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732", and|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" him|strong="H1732", Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068", Take|strong="H6901" which|strong="H3068" thou wilt:
12 either|strong="H1697" three|strong="H7969" years|strong="H8141" of|strong="H3068" famine|strong="H7458"; or|strong="H3117" three|strong="H7969" months|strong="H2320" to|strong="H7725" be|strong="H1697" consumed|strong="H5595" before|strong="H6440" thy|strong="H3068" foes|strong="H6862", while|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3605" sword|strong="H2719" of|strong="H3068" thine|strong="H7971" enemies|strong="H6862" overtaketh|strong="H5381" thee|strong="H6440"; or|strong="H3117" else|strong="H3605" three|strong="H7969" days|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3605" sword|strong="H2719" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068", even|strong="H3068" pestilence|strong="H1698" in|strong="H8141" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H6440", and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" destroying|strong="H7843" throughout|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" borders|strong="H1366" of|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478". Now|strong="H6258" therefore|strong="H6258" consider|strong="H7200" what|strong="H4100" answer|strong="H7725" I|strong="H3117" shall|strong="H3068" return|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" him|strong="H6440" that|strong="H7200" sent|strong="H7971" me|strong="H6440".
13 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" said unto|strong="H3068" Gad|strong="H1410", I|strong="H3588" am|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" great|strong="H7227" strait|strong="H6862": let|strong="H4994" me|strong="H4994" fall|strong="H5307", I|strong="H3588" pray|strong="H4994", into|strong="H5307" the|strong="H3588" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068"; for|strong="H3588" very|strong="H3966" great|strong="H7227" are|strong="H3027" his|strong="H3068" mercies|strong="H7356": and|strong="H3068" let|strong="H4994" me|strong="H4994" not|strong="H3588" fall|strong="H5307" into|strong="H5307" the|strong="H3588" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3068" man|strong="H5307".
14 So|strong="H5414" Jehovah|strong="H3068" sent|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" pestilence|strong="H1698" upon|strong="H5307" Israel|strong="H3478"; and|strong="H3478" there|strong="H3068" fell|strong="H5307" of|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478" seventy|strong="H7657" thousand men|strong="H3478".
15 And|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068" sent|strong="H7971" an|strong="H7200" angel|strong="H4397" unto|strong="H3068" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" to|strong="H3068" destroy|strong="H7843" it|strong="H5921": and|strong="H3068" as|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" about|strong="H5921" to|strong="H3068" destroy|strong="H7843", Jehovah|strong="H3068" beheld|strong="H7200", and|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" repented|strong="H5162" him|strong="H5921" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" evil|strong="H7451", and|strong="H3068" said to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" destroying|strong="H7843" angel|strong="H4397", It|strong="H5921" is|strong="H3068" enough|strong="H7227"; now|strong="H6258" stay|strong="H5975" thy|strong="H3068" hand|strong="H3027". And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" standing|strong="H5975" by|strong="H3027" the|strong="H5921" threshing|strong="H1637" floor|strong="H1637" of|strong="H3068" Ornan the|strong="H5921" Jebusite|strong="H2983".
16 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" lifted|strong="H5375" up|strong="H5375" his|strong="H5375" eyes|strong="H5869", and|strong="H3068" saw|strong="H7200" the|strong="H6440" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" standing|strong="H5975" between|strong="H5921" earth|strong="H8064" and|strong="H3068" heaven|strong="H8064", having a|strong="H3068" drawn|strong="H8025" sword|strong="H2719" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5375" hand|strong="H3027" stretched|strong="H5186" out|strong="H5186" over|strong="H5921" Jerusalem|strong="H3389". Then|strong="H5375" David|strong="H1732" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" elders|strong="H2205", clothed|strong="H3680" in|strong="H5921" sackcloth|strong="H8242", fell|strong="H5307" upon|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3068" faces|strong="H6440".
17 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" said unto|strong="H6213" God|strong="H3068", Is|strong="H3068" it|strong="H1931" not|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" that|strong="H5971" commanded the|strong="H6213" people|strong="H5971" to|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" numbered|strong="H4487"? even|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" it|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068" that|strong="H5971" have|strong="H1961" sinned|strong="H2398" and|strong="H3068" done|strong="H6213" very|strong="H6213" wickedly|strong="H7489"; but|strong="H3808" these|strong="H6213" sheep|strong="H6629", what|strong="H4100" have|strong="H1961" they|strong="H3068" done|strong="H6213"? let|strong="H4994" thy|strong="H3068" hand|strong="H3027", I|strong="H3808" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H6213", O|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", be|strong="H1961" against|strong="H2398" me|strong="H4994", and|strong="H3068" against|strong="H2398" my|strong="H3068" father’s house|strong="H1004"; but|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" against|strong="H2398" thy|strong="H3068" people|strong="H5971", that|strong="H5971" they|strong="H3068" should|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" plagued|strong="H4046".
18 Then|strong="H6965" the|strong="H3588" angel|strong="H4397" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" commanded Gad|strong="H1410" to|strong="H3068" say to|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732", that|strong="H3588" David|strong="H1732" should|strong="H3068" go|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927", and|strong="H6965" rear|strong="H6965" an|strong="H6965" altar|strong="H4196" unto|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" threshing|strong="H1637" floor|strong="H1637" of|strong="H3068" Ornan the|strong="H3588" Jebusite|strong="H2983".
19 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" at|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" saying|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" Gad|strong="H1410", which|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" spake|strong="H1696" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068".
20 And|strong="H1121" Ornan turned|strong="H7725" back|strong="H7725", and|strong="H1121" saw|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" angel|strong="H4397"; and|strong="H1121" his|strong="H7725" four sons|strong="H1121" that|strong="H7200" were|strong="H1121" with|strong="H5973" him|strong="H7725" hid|strong="H2244" themselves|strong="H2244". Now Ornan was|strong="H1121" threshing|strong="H1758" wheat|strong="H2406".
21 And|strong="H1732" as|strong="H5704" David|strong="H1732" came|strong="H3318" to|strong="H5704" Ornan, Ornan looked|strong="H7200" and|strong="H1732" saw|strong="H7200" David|strong="H1732", and|strong="H1732" went|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H4480" the|strong="H7200" threshing|strong="H1637" floor|strong="H1637", and|strong="H1732" bowed|strong="H7812" himself|strong="H7812" to|strong="H5704" David|strong="H1732" with|strong="H3318" his|strong="H1732" face|strong="H7200" to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H7200" ground.
22 Then|strong="H5414" David|strong="H1732" said to|strong="H3068" Ornan, Give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5921" place|strong="H4725" of|strong="H3068" this|strong="H5414" threshing|strong="H1637" floor|strong="H1637", that|strong="H5971" I|strong="H5414" may|strong="H3068" build|strong="H1129" thereon|strong="H5921" an|strong="H1129" altar|strong="H4196" unto|strong="H5414" Jehovah|strong="H3068": for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" full|strong="H4392" price|strong="H3701" shalt thou|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" it|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414", that|strong="H5971" the|strong="H5921" plague|strong="H4046" may|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" stayed|strong="H6113" from|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" people|strong="H5971".
23 And|strong="H4428" Ornan said unto|strong="H5414" David|strong="H1732", Take|strong="H3947" it|strong="H5414" to|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H5414", and|strong="H4428" let|strong="H5414" my|strong="H5414" lord the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" do|strong="H6213" that|strong="H7200" which|strong="H5869" is|strong="H2896" good|strong="H2896" in|strong="H6213" his|strong="H3605" eyes|strong="H5869": lo|strong="H7200", I|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" thee the|strong="H3605" oxen|strong="H1241" for|strong="H6213" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H5930", and|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" threshing|strong="H4173" instruments|strong="H4173" for|strong="H6213" wood|strong="H6086", and|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" wheat|strong="H2406" for|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" meal|strong="H4503" offering|strong="H4503"; I|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" it|strong="H5414" all|strong="H3605".
24 And|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4428" David|strong="H1732" said to|strong="H3068" Ornan, Nay|strong="H3808"; but|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" verily|strong="H7069" buy|strong="H7069" it|strong="H3588" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" full|strong="H4392" price|strong="H3701": for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" take|strong="H5375" that|strong="H3588" which|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" thine|strong="H5375" for|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068", nor|strong="H3808" offer|strong="H5927" a|strong="H3068" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H5930" without|strong="H3808" cost|strong="H2600".
25 So|strong="H5414" David|strong="H1732" gave|strong="H5414" to|strong="H5414" Ornan for|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" place|strong="H4725" six|strong="H8337" hundred|strong="H3967" shekels|strong="H8255" of|strong="H8255" gold|strong="H2091" by|strong="H2091" weight|strong="H4948".
26 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" built|strong="H1129" there|strong="H8033" an|strong="H1129" altar|strong="H4196" unto|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3068" offered|strong="H5927" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H8002" and|strong="H3068" peace|strong="H8002" offerings|strong="H8002", and|strong="H3068" called|strong="H7121" upon|strong="H5921" Jehovah|strong="H3068"; and|strong="H3068" he|strong="H8033" answered|strong="H6030" him|strong="H7121" from|strong="H4480" heaven|strong="H8064" by|strong="H5921" fire upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" altar|strong="H4196" of|strong="H3068" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H5930".
