1 Now the anger of the Lord burned against Israel again, and He incited Davidagainst them to say, "Go, count Israel and Judah." 2 So the king said to Joabthe commander of the army, who was with him, "Roam about now through all the tribes of Israel, from Danto Beersheba, and conduct a census of the people, so that I may know the number of the people." 3 But Joabsaid to the king, "May the Lord your God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king can still see; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?" 4 Nevertheless, the king’s order prevailed against Joaband against the commanders of the army. So Joaband the commanders of the army left the presence of the king to conduct a census of the people of Israel. 5 They crossed the Jordanand camped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the Valley of Gad and toward Jazer. 6 Then they came to Gileadand to 24:6 Another reading is Kadesh in the land of the Hittitethe land of Tahtim-hodshi, and they came to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon, 7 then they came to the fortress of Tyreand to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites, and they went out to the south of Judah, to Beersheba. 8 So when they had roamed about through the whole land, they came to Jerusalemat the end of nine months and twenty days. 9 And Joabgave the number of the census of the people to the king: in Israel there were eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 Now David’s heart 24:10 Lit strucktroubled him after he had counted the people. So Davidsaid to the Lord, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, Lord, please 24:10 Lit allow to passoverlook the guilt of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly." 11 When Davidgot up in the morning, the word of the Lord came to Gadthe prophet, David’s seer, saying, 12 "Go and speak to David, ‘This is what the Lord says: "I am imposing upon you three choices; choose for yourself one of them, and I will do it to you." ’ " 13 So Gadcame to Davidand told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee for three months before your enemies while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days of plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me." 14 Then Davidsaid to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into human hands."
Plague Sent
15 So the Lord24:15 Lit gavesent a plague upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand men of the people from Danto Beershebadied. 16 When the angel extended his hand toward Jerusalemto destroy it, the Lord relented of the disaster and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough! Now drop your hand!" And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunahthe Jebusite. 17 Then Davidspoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking down the people, and said, "Behold, it is I who have sinned, and it is I who have done wrong; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand be against me and against my father’s house!"
David Builds an Altar
18 So Gadcame to Davidthat day and said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of 24:18 In 2 Chr 3:1, OrnanAraunahthe Jebusite." 19 Then Davidwent up in accordance with the word of Gad, just as the Lord had commanded. 20 And Araunahlooked down and saw the king and his servants crossing over toward him; so Araunahwent out and bowed his face to the ground before the king. 21 Then Araunahsaid, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And Davidsaid, "To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the Lord, so that the plague may be 24:21 Or brought to a haltwithdrawn from the people." 22 Araunahthen said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what is good in his sight. Look, here are the oxen for the burnt offering, the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. 23 Everything, O king, Araunahgives to the king." And Araunahsaid to the king, "May the Lord your God be favorable to you." 24 However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will certainly buy it from you for a price; for I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God 24:24 Lit gratuitouslythat cost me nothing." So Davidbought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekelsof silver. 25 Then Davidbuilt there an altar to the Lord, and he offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And the Lord responded to prayer for the land, and the plague was 24:25 Or brought to a haltwithdrawn from Israel.
