2 Samuel 24:10-14 And after he had numbered the people, the heart of David struck him. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. And now, O Jehovah, I pray, take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And after he had numbered the people, the heart of David struck him. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. And now, O Jehovah, I pray, take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have acted very foolishly. ¹¹ And David rose up in the morning; and the word of Jehovah came to Gad the prophet, David's seer, saying, ¹² Go and you shall speak to David, So says Jehovah, I am setting up three things for you; you choose one of them and I will do it for you. ¹³ And Gad came in to David and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee before your foes three months, and they pursue you? Or shall three days' plague come into your land? Now consider, and see what I shall take back to Him who sent word to me. ¹⁴ And David said, Because of this I am in great distress. Let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah, for many are His mercies; and do not let me fall into the hand of man.
