1CH-21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David

to number Israel.

1CH-21:2 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].

1CH-21:3 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?

1CH-21:4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.

Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and

came to Jerusalem.

1CH-21:5 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.

1CH-21:6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for

the king's word was abominable to Joab.

1CH-21:7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he

smote Israel.

1CH-21:8 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.

1CH-21:9 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

1CH-21:10 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.

1CH-21:11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith

the LORD, Choose thee

1CH-21:12 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.

1CH-21:13 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.

1CH-21:14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there

fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

1CH-21:15 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.

1CH-21:16 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.

1CH-21:17 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.

1CH-21:18 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.

1CH-21:19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake

in the name of the LORD.

1CH-21:20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four

sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

1CH-21:21 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.

1CH-21:22 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.

1CH-21:23 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.

1CH-21:24 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.

1CH-21:25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred

shekels of gold by weight.

1CH-21:26 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.

1CH-21:27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his

sword again into the sheath thereof.

1CH-21:28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered

him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he

sacrificed there.

1CH-21:29 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.

1CH-21:30 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.
