1: And AgainH3254 the angerH0639 of YahwehH3068 was arousedH2734 against Israel,H3478 and He movedH5496 -H0853 DavidH1732 to say,H0559 go,H1980 numberH4487 -H0853 IsraelH3478 andH0853 Judah.H3063

3: And saidH0559 JoabH3097 toH0413 the king,H4428 and may addH3254 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 toH0413 the people,H5971 as they [were]H1992 and as they [are]H1992 a hundredH3967 times,H6471 and the eyesH5869 of my lordH0113 the kingH4428 may see [it]H7200 but my lordH0113 the kingH4428 whyH4100 does desireH2654 thingH1697 this?H2088
4: and nevertheless prevailedH2388 wordH1697 of the kingH4428 againstH0413 Joab,H3097 and againstH5921 the captainsH8269 of the army.H2428 Therefore went outH3318 JoabH3097 and the captainsH8269 of the armyH2428 from the presenceH6440 of the king,H4428 to countH6485 -H0853 the peopleH5971 ofH0853 Israel.H3478

10: And condemnedH5221 heartH3820 of DavidH1732 himH0853 afterH0310 afterH3651 he had numberedH5608 -H0853 the people.H5971 So saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966 in whatH0834 I have done.H6213 But now,H6258 Yahweh,H3068 take awayH5674 I pray,H4994 -H0853 the iniquityH5771 of Your servant-H5650 forH3588 I have done foolishlyH5528 very.H3966
11: And when aroseH6965 DavidH1732 in the morning,H1242 and the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 cameH1961 toH0413 Gad,H1410 the prophetH5030 seer,H2374 of DavidH1732 saying,H0559
12: goH1980 and tellH1696 untoH0413 David,H1732 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh:,H3068 three [things]H7969 IH0595 offerH5190 youH5921 chooseH0977 one ofH0259 themH1992 that I may do [it]H6213
13: So cameH0935 GadH1410 toH0413 David,H1732 and toldH5046 and he saidH0559 shall comeH0935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 in your land?H0776 OrH0518 threeH7969 monthsH2320 shall you fleeH5127 beforeH6440 your enemies,H6862 and while heH1931 pursues youH7291 OrH0518 shall there beH1961 threeH7969 days'H3117 plagueH1698 in your land?H0776 nowH6258 consider,H3045 and seeH7200 whatH4100 I should take backH7725 to Him who sent meH7971 answer.H1697
14: And saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Gad,H1410 in distress-H6862 greatH3966 let us fallH5307 pleaseH4994 into the handH3027 of Yahweh-H3068 forH3588 great,H7227 His mercies [are]H7356 but into the handH3027 of manH0120 notH0408 do let me fall.H5307
15: So sentH5414 YahwehH3068 a plagueH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 and tillH5704 the timeH6256 appointed-H4150 and diedH4191 ofH4480 the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 and toH5704 BeershebaH0884 seventyH7657 thousandH0505 men.H0376
16: And when stretched outH7971 His handH3027 the angelH4397 over JerusalemH3389 to destroy itH7843 and relentedH5162 YahwehH3068 fromH0413 the destruction,H7451 and saidH0559 to the angelH4397 who was destroyingH7843 the people,H5971 it is enough!H7227 nowH6258 restrainH7503 your hand.H3027 And the angelH4397 of YahwehH3068 wasH1961 byH5973 the threshing floorH1637 AraunahH0728 the Jebusite.H2983
17: And spokeH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 YahwehH3068 when he sawH7200 -H0853 the angelH4397 who was strikingH5221 the people,H5971 and said,H0559 surely,H2009 IH0595 have sinned,H2398 and IH0595 have done wickedly-H5753 but theseH0428 sheep,H6629 whatH4100 have they done?H6213 beH1961 I pray,H4994 let Your hand,H3027 and against houseH1004 my father's.H0001

19: So went upH5927 David,H1732 according to the wordH1697 of Gad,H1410 asH0834 commandedH6680 Yahweh.H3068
20: And looked,H8259 AraunahH0728 and sawH7200 -H0853 the kingH4428 andH0853 his servantsH5650 comingH5674 toward himH5921 so went out,H3318 AraunahH0728 and bowedH7812 before the kingH4428 with his faceH0639 to the ground.H0776
21: And said,H0559 AraunahH0728 whyH4069 has comeH0935 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 toH0413 his servant?H5650 and said,H0559 DavidH1732 to buyH7069 from youH5973 -H0853 the threshing floorH1637 to buildH1129 an altarH4196 to Yahweh,H3068 that may be withdrawnH6113 the plagueH4046 fromH5921 the people.H5971
22: And saidH0559 AraunahH0728 toH0413 David,H1732 let takeH3947 and offer upH5927 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 whatever [seems] goodH2896 to him.H5869 Look [here are],H7200 oxenH1241 for burnt sacrifice,H5930 and threshing implementsH4173 and the yokesH3627 of the oxenH1241 for wood.H6086
23: All theseH3605 has givenH5414 Araunah,H0728 king,H4428 to the king.H4428 And saidH0559 AraunahH0728 toH0413 the king,H4428 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 May accept you.H7521
24: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 toH0413 Araunah,H0728 No-H3808 butH3588 surelyH7069 I will buy [it]H7069 from youH0853 for a price,H4242 norH3808 will I offerH5927 to YahwehH3068 my GodH0430 burnt offeringsH5930 with that which costs me nothing.H2600 So boughtH7069 DavidH1732 -H0853 the threshing floorH1637 andH0853 the oxenH1241 for silverH3701 shekelsH8255 of fifty.H2572
