strkjv@1Chronicles:21:1 @ And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:2 @ And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba B@#ereven to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, The LORD Y@hovah# make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lords servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the kings word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#.
strkjv@1Chronicles: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 Y@huwdah# was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the kings word was abominable to Joab.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly m@#od#, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very m@#od# foolishly.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:9 @ And the LORD Y@hovah# spake unto Gad, Davids seer, saying,
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:10 @ Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD Y@hovah#, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:11 @ So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD Y@hovah#, Choose thee
strkjv@1Chronicles: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 Y@hovah#, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD Y@hovah# destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said unto Gad, I am in a great m@#od# strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD Y@hovah#; for very m@#od# great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:14 @ So the LORD Y@hovah# sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD Y@hovah# 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 Y@hovah# stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD Y@hovah# stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim#. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
strkjv@1Chronicles: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 Y@hovah# my God, be on me, and on my fathers house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Then the angel of the LORD Y@hovah# commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD Y@hovah# in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:19 @ And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:20 @ And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
strkjv@1Chronicles: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.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD Y@hovah#: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
strkjv@1Chronicles: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.
strkjv@1Chronicles: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 Y@hovah#, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:25 @ So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:26 @ And David built there an altar unto the LORD Y@hovah#, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD Y@hovah#; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:27 @ And the LORD Y@hovah# commanded the angel; and he put up # his sword again into the sheath thereof.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:28 @ At that time when David saw that the LORD Y@hovah# had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:29 @ For the tabernacle of the LORD Y@hovah#, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
strkjv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD Y@hovah#.
