King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And Satan
stood
up against Israel, and provoked
David to number Israel .
And there
standeth
up an
adversary
against Israel, and persuadeth
David to number Israel ,
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
.
And David saith
unto
Joab ,
and unto
the heads
of the people, `
Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba
even unto
Dan ,
and bring unto
me, and
I know their
number
. '
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?
And Joab saith
, `Jehovah
doth
add
to
His people as
they
are
a
hundred times ;
are
they not
, my lord ,
O
king, all of
them
to
my lord
for
servants? why doth my lord seek
this? why is
he for
a cause of guilt
to Israel? '
Nevertheless
the king's
word prevailed
against Joab .
Wherefore
Joab departed
, and went
throughout
all Israel, and came
to Jerusalem.
And
the word of
the
king
`is'
severe
against Joab ,
and
Joab goeth
out
, and goeth
up
and
down
in
all Israel, and cometh
in
to Jerusalem.
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.
And Joab giveth
the account
of the numbering
of the people unto David ,
and all Israel is
a thousand thousand and a
hundred thousand ,
each
drawing
sword ,
and Judah `is'
four hundred and seventy
thousand ,
each
drawing
sword.
But
Levi and Benjamin counted
he not among
them:
for the king's
word was abominable to
Joab.
And
Levi and Benjamin he hath
not numbered
in
their
midst,
for the word of
the
king
was abominable with
Joab.
And God was
displeased
with
this thing ;
therefore
he smote
Israel .
And it
is
evil
in
the
eyes
of
God concerning
this thing ,
and
He smiteth
Israel ,
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.
and David saith
unto God, `
I have sinned exceedingly
, in
that
I have done this thing ;
and
now, cause
to
pass
away,
I pray
Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant ,
for I have acted
very foolishly. '
And the
LORD
spake
unto Gad, David's
seer, saying ,
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto Gad, seer of
David
, saying :
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.
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
spoken
unto
David, saying, Thus said
Jehovah
, Three
--
I am
stretching
out
unto
thee ;
choose for
thee one of these
, and
I do `
it '
to
thee. '
So
Gad came
to
David, and said
unto
him, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Choose
thee
And
Gad cometh
in
unto
David, and saith
to
him, `
Thus said
Jehovah
, Take
for
thee --
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 .
either for
three years --
famine ,
or three months to be consumed
from
the
face
of
thine
adversaries
, even
the sword of thine enemies to
overtake,
or three days the sword of Jehovah
, even pestilence in the land, and a
messenger
of Jehovah
destroying in
all the border
of Israel ;
and
now ,
see;
what word do
I return
to Him who
is
sending
me ?'
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.
And David saith
unto Gad, `
I am greatly
distressed,
let me fall ,
I
pray
thee,
into the hand of Jehovah,
for very many
`
are '
His mercies ,
and
into the hand of man let
me
not
fall
. '
So
the
LORD
sent
pestilence upon
Israel :
and there fell
of Israel seventy thousand men .
And
Jehovah
giveth
a
pestilence in
Israel ,
and there fall
of Israel seventy thousand men ,
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 .
and God sendeth
a
messenger
to
Jerusalem to destroy it ,
and as he is
destroying Jehovah
hath
seen
, and is
comforted
concerning
the evil, and saith
to the messenger
who
`
is '
destroying,
`
Enough, now ,
cease
thy
hand. '
And the messenger
of Jehovah
is
standing
by the threshing-floor
of Ornan the Jebusite ,
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.
and David lifteth
up his eyes, and seeth
the messenger
of Jehovah
standing
between the earth and the heavens
, and
his
sword drawn
in his hand ,
stretched out over Jerusalem ,
and
David falleth,
and the elders, covered
with
sackcloth, on
their faces.
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.
And David saith
unto God, `Did
not I --
I
say
to
number
the people? Yea,
I it `
is '
who
have sinned ,
and done great
evil :
and
these, the
flock,
what did
they? O
Jehovah,
my
God,
let, I pray Thee, Thy
hand
be on me, and on the
house of
my
father,
and
not on Thy people --
to
be plagued. '
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.
And
the messenger
of Jehovah
spake
unto
Gad ,
saying
for
David, `Surely
David doth
go up to
raise
an altar to
Jehovah
in the threshing-floor
of Ornan the Jebusite. '
And David went
up at
the saying
of Gad, which
he spake in the name of the
LORD
.
And David goeth
up by
the word
of Gad, that
he spake in the name of Jehovah
.
And Ornan turned
back, and saw
the angel;
and his four sons with him hid
themselves .
Now
Ornan was
threshing wheat.
And Ornan turneth
back, and seeth
the messenger,
and his four sons `are'
with him ,
hiding
themselves ,
and
Ornan is
threshing wheat.
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
.
And David cometh
in
unto
Ornan, and
Ornan looketh
attentively,
and seeth
David, and goeth
out from
the threshing-floor
, and boweth
himself to David --
face to the earth
.
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.
And
David saith
unto
Ornan, `Give
to
me the place of the
threshing-floor
, and
I build in
it
an altar to
Jehovah;
for full silver
give
it
to
me,
and
the plague is
restrained
from the people. '
And Ornan said
unto David, Take it
to thee ,
and let
my lord 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
.
And Ornan saith
unto David, `
Take to thee --
and my lord the king doth
that which is good in his eyes: see
, I have
given
the oxen for burnt -
offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for a
present
; the
whole
I have
given
. '
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.
And king David saith
to Ornan, `
Nay ,
for
I surely
buy for full silver;
for I do
not lift
up
that which is thine to
Jehovah
, so
as
to
offer a
burnt -offering
without cost. '
So
David gave
to Ornan for the place six
hundred
shekels of gold by
weight .
And
David giveth
to Ornan for the place shekels of gold `in'
weight six
hundred;
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.
and David buildeth
there an altar to
Jehovah
, and offereth
burnt -
offerings and peace -
offerings, and calleth
unto
Jehovah,
and He answereth
him with
fire from
the heavens
on
the
altar of the
burnt -
offering.
And the
LORD
commanded
the angel;
and he put
up
his sword again
into
the
sheath thereof
.
And Jehovah
saith
to
the messenger,
and he turneth
back
his sword unto
its
sheath.
At that time when David saw
that the
LORD
had
answered him in the threshingfloor
of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed
there .
At that time when David seeth
that Jehovah
hath
answered him in the threshing-floor
of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth
there ;
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 .
and
the tabernacle of Jehovah
that
Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt -
offering, `are'
at that time
in a
high place ,
in
Gibeon ;
But
David could
not go before it to enquire
of
God :
for he was
afraid because of the sword of the angel
of the
LORD
.
and
David is
not able
to
go before it to seek
God ,
for he hath
been
afraid because of the sword of the messenger
of Jehovah
.
