1 Then Satan stood up against Israel and incited David to count Israel. 2 So Davidsaid to Joaband to the leaders of the people, "Go, count Israel from Beershebato Dan, and bring me word so that I may know their number." 3 But Joabsaid, "May the Lord add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! My lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?" 4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore, Joabdeparted and went throughout Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5 Then Joabgave the number of the census of the people to David. Israel was 1,100,000 men in all who drew the sword; and Judah was 470,000 men who drew the sword. 6 But he did not 21:6 Lit mustercount Levi and Benjamin among them, because the king’s 21:6 Lit wordcommand was abhorrent to Joab.
7 Now 21:7 Lit it was evil in the sight of GodGod was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel. 8 Davidsaid to God, "I have sinned greatly, 21:8 that I didby doing this thing. But now, please overlook Your servant’s guilt, for I have behaved very foolishly."
9 The Lord spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10 "Go and speak to David, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says: "I extend to you three choices; choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you." ’ " 11 So Gadcame to Davidand said to him, "This is what the Lord says: ‘Take for yourself 12 three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the Lord: a plague in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout the territory of Israel.’ Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall bring back to Him who sent me." 13 Davidsaid to Gad, "I am in great distress; please let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are very great. But do not let me fall into human hands."
14 So the Lord21:14 Lit gavesent a plague on Israel; seventy thousand men of Israel fell. 15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalemto destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, the Lord saw and was sorry about the catastrophe, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now relax your hand." And the angel of the Lord was standing by the threshing floor of 21:15 In 2 Sam 24:16, AraunahOrnanthe Jebusite. 16 Then Davidraised his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then Davidand the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces. 17 And Davidsaid to God, "Is it not I who 21:17 Lit saidcommanded to count the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? Lord, my God, just let Your hand be against me and my father’s household, and not against Your people as a plague."
David’s Altar
18 Then the angel of the Lord21:18 Lit said tocommanded Gadto say to David, that Davidwas to go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornanthe Jebusite. 19 So Davidwent up at the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord. 20 Now Ornanturned back and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. And Ornanwas threshing wheat. 21 As Davidcame to Ornan, Ornanlooked and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor and prostrated himself to Davidwith his face to the ground. 22 Then Davidsaid to Ornan, "Give me the 21:22 Lit placesite of this threshing floor, so that I may build on it an altar to the Lord; you shall give it to me for the full price, so that the plague may be brought to a halt from the people." 23 But Ornansaid to David, "Take it for yourself, and may my lord the king do what is good in his sight. See, I am giving the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing sledges for wood and the wheat for the grain offering; I am giving it all." 24 Nevertheless, King Davidsaid to Ornan, "No, but I will certainly buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the Lord, nor offer a burnt offering 21:24 Lit gratuitouslywhich costs me nothing." 25 So Davidgave Ornansix hundred shekelsof gold by weight for the 21:25 Lit placesite. 26 Then Davidbuilt an altar there to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And he called to the Lord, and He answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering. 27 The Lord commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
28 At that time, when Davidsaw that the Lord had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornanthe Jebusite, he offered sacrifice there. 29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moseshad made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were on the high place at Gibeonat that time. 30 But Davidcould not go before it to inquire of God, for he was terrified by the sword of the angel of the Lord.
