King James Version
And the anger of Jehovah
addeth
to
burn
against Israel, and `an
adversary'
moveth
David about
them ,
saying
, `
Go, number Israel and Judah. '
And again
the anger of the
LORD
was
kindled
against Israel, and he
moved
David against

, Go, number Israel and Judah.
And
the king saith
unto
Joab ,
head
of the host that
`is'
with him, `
Go to
and
fro,
I
pray
thee,
through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even unto
Beer-Sheba
, and inspect
ye the people --
and
I have
known
the number of the people. '
For
the king said
to
Joab the
captain
of the host ,
which
was
with him, Go now
through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to
Beersheba
, and number
ye the people ,
that
I may
know
the number of the people.
And Joab saith
unto the king, `Yea,
Jehovah
thy God doth
add unto the people, as
they are
, a
hundred
times
, and the eyes of my lord the king are
seeing;
and
my lord the king ,
why
is
he
desirous
of
this thing? '
And Joab said
unto the king, Now
the
LORD
thy God add unto the people, how
many
soever
they be
, an
hundredfold
, and that
the eyes of my lord the king may
see
it:
but
why
doth
my lord the king delight
in
this thing?
And
the word of
the
king
is
severe
towards
Joab, and against the heads
of the force,
and Joab goeth
out,
and the heads
of the force,
`
from '
before
the king to inspect
the people ,
even
Israel ;
Notwithstanding
the king's
word prevailed
against
Joab, and against the captains
of the host.
And Joab and the captains
of the host
went
out
from the presence
of
the
king ,
to number
the people of
Israel .

over the
Jordan, and encamp
in Aroer, on the right of the city that `is'
in the midst of the brook
of Gad, and unto
Jazer ,

and
they come
in
to Gilead, and unto
the land of Tahtim-Hodshi,
and they come
in
to Dan-Jaan
, and round
about unto
Zidon,
Then
they came
to Gilead, and to
the land of Tahtimhodshi;
and they came
to Danjaan
, and about to
Zidon,
and they
come
in
to the fortress
of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite
, and of the Canaanite,
and go
out unto
the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba
.
And came
to the strong
hold
of Tyre, and to
all the cities of the Hivites
, and of the Canaanites:
and they
went
out to
the south of Judah, even
to Beersheba
.
And
they go
to
and
fro
through all the land, and
come
in
at the end of nine months and twenty days to
Jerusalem,

and Joab giveth
the account
of the inspection
of the people unto the king ,
and Israel is
eight hundred thousand men of
valour,
drawing
sword ,
and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men.

And the
heart of
David
smiteth
him ,
after that he hath
numbered the people ,
and David saith
unto Jehovah
, `
I have sinned greatly in that which
I have done ,
and now, O
Jehovah,
cause
to
pass
away,
I pray
Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant ,
for I have acted
very foolishly. '
And David's
heart smote
him after that he had
numbered the people .
And David said
unto the
LORD
, I have sinned greatly in that I have done :
and now, I beseech
thee, O
LORD,
take
away
the iniquity of thy servant ;
for I have done
very foolishly.
And
David riseth
in the morning, and
the word of Jehovah
hath
been
unto Gad
the prophet, seer of
David
, saying,
For
when
David was
up
in the morning, the word of the
LORD
came
unto the prophet Gad
, David's
seer, saying,
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
spoken
unto David, Thus said
Jehovah:
Three
--
I am
lifting
up
for
thee ,
choose thee one of them, and
I do `
it '
to
thee. '
Go and say
unto David, Thus saith
the
LORD,
I offer
thee three
things;
choose thee one of them, that
I may
do it unto
thee.
And
Gad cometh
in
unto
David, and declareth
to
him, and saith
to
him, `Do
seven years of famine come in
to
thee in thy land? or three months art
thou
fleeing
before thine adversary
--
and
he
pursuing
thee? or are
three days' pestilence in thy land? now, know
and see what word
I take
back
to Him sending
me. '
So
Gad came
to
David, and told
him, and said
unto
him, Shall
seven years of famine come unto
thee in thy land? or wilt
thou
flee
three months before thine enemies,
while
they
pursue
thee? or that
there
be
three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise
, and see what answer
I shall
return
to him that
sent
me.
And David saith
unto Gad, `
I have
great distress,
let us fall ,
I
pray
thee,
into the hand of Jehovah,
for many
`are'
His mercies ,
and into the hand of man let
me
not
fall
. '
And David said
unto Gad, I am
in
a
great strait:
let us fall now
into the hand of the
LORD;
for his mercies are
great:
and let
me
not
fall
into the hand of man.
And
Jehovah
giveth
a pestilence on
Israel from the morning even unto
the time appointed ,
and there die
of the people ,
from Dan even unto
Beer-Sheba,
seventy thousand men ,
So
the
LORD
sent
a pestilence upon
Israel from the morning even to
the time appointed :
and there died
of the people from Dan even to

and the messenger
putteth
forth
his hand to
Jerusalem to destroy it, and
Jehovah
repenteth
concerning
the evil, and saith
to the messenger
who
is
destroying
among
the people, `
Enough ,
now ,
cease
thy
hand ;'
and the messenger
of Jehovah
was near
the threshing-floor
of Araunah the Jebusite.
And when
the angel
stretched
out
his hand upon
Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD
repented
him
of
the
evil, and said
to the angel
that
destroyed
the people, It
is
enough :
stay
now thine
hand .
And the angel
of the
LORD
was by
the threshingplace
of Araunah the Jebusite.
And David speaketh
unto Jehovah,
when he seeth
the messenger
who
is
smiting
among
the people, and saith
, `
Lo, I have sinned, yea,
I have done perversely;
and
these --
the
flock
--
what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy
hand
be on
me, and on
the
house
of
my father
. '
And David spake
unto the
LORD
when he saw
the angel
that
smote
the people, and said
, Lo, I have sinned, and
I have done wickedly:
but
these sheep,
what have they done? let thine
hand
, I pray thee, be against
me, and against
my father's
house
.
And Gad cometh
in
unto
David
on
that day, and saith
to
him, `
Go up, raise
to
Jehovah
an altar in the threshing-floor
of Araunah the Jebusite ;'
And Gad came
that day to
David
, and said
unto
him, Go up, rear
an altar unto
the
LORD
in the threshingfloor
of Araunah the Jebusite .
and David goeth
up
, according to the word
of Gad, as Jehovah
commanded.
And David, according to the saying
of Gad, went
up
as the
LORD
commanded.
And Araunah looketh
, and seeth
the king and his servants passing
over
unto
him ,
and Araunah goeth
out and boweth
himself to
the king --
his face to
the earth
.
And Araunah looked
, and saw
the king and his servants coming
on
toward
him :
and Araunah went
out ,
and bowed
himself before
the king on
his face upon
the ground
.
And Araunah saith
, `
Wherefore hath
my lord the king come unto
his servant? '
and David saith
, `
To buy from
thee
the threshing-floor
, to build an altar to
Jehovah
, and
the plague is
restrained
from the people. '
And Araunah said
, Wherefore is
my lord the king come to
his servant? And David said
, To buy the threshingfloor
of
thee
, to build an altar unto
the
LORD
, that
the plague may
be
stayed
from the people.
And Araunah saith
unto David, `
Let my lord the king take and cause
to
ascend
that
which
is
good in
his
eyes;
see
, the
oxen for a
burnt -offering
, and the
threshing instruments ,
and the
instruments of the oxen ,
for wood ;'
And Araunah said
unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer
up
what
seemeth
good unto
him:
behold
, here
be
oxen for burnt sacrifice
, and threshing instruments and other
instruments of the oxen for wood .
the
whole
hath
Araunah given
, `
as '
a king to
a
king ;
and Araunah saith
unto the king, `Jehovah
thy God doth
accept thee. '
All
these
things
did
Araunah, as a king ,
give
unto
the
king .
And Araunah said
unto the king, The
LORD
thy God accept thee.
And the king saith
unto Araunah, `
Nay ,
for
I do
surely buy from
thee for
a price ,
and
I do
not
cause
to
ascend
to
Jehovah
my
God
burnt -
offerings for
nought;'
and
David buyeth
the threshing-floor
and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver ,
And the king said
unto Araunah, Nay ;
but
I will
surely buy it
of
thee at
a price :
neither
will
I offer
burnt offerings unto
the
LORD
my
God
of
that
which
doth
cost
me
nothing.
So
David bought
the threshingfloor
and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver .
and David buildeth
there an altar to
Jehovah
, and causeth
to
ascend
burnt -
offerings and peace -
offerings ,
and
Jehovah
is
entreated
for the land, and the plague is
restrained
from Israel.
And David built
there an altar unto
the
LORD
, and offered
burnt offerings and peace offerings .
So
the
LORD
was
intreated
for the land, and the plague was
stayed
from Israel.
