1 Chronicles 21

WEB_Strongs(i)
  1 H7854 Satan H5975 stood up H3478 against Israel, H5496 and moved H1732 David H4487 to number H3478 Israel.
  2 H1732 David H559 said H3097 to Joab H8269 and to the princes H5971 of the people, H3212 "Go, H5608 number H3478 Israel H884 from Beersheba H1835 even to Dan; H935 and bring H3045 me word, that I may know H4557 the sum of them."
  3 H3097 Joab H559 said, H3068 "May Yahweh H5971 make his people H3967 a hundred H6471 times H1992 as many as they H113 are. But, my lord H4428 the king, H1992 aren't they H113 all my lord's H5650 servants? H113 Why does my lord H1245 require H819 this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt H3478 to Israel?"
  4 H4428 Nevertheless the king's H1697 word H2388 prevailed H3097 against Joab. H3097 Therefore Joab H3318 departed, H1980 and went H3478 throughout all Israel, H935 and came H3389 to Jerusalem.
  5 H3097 Joab H5414 gave H4557 up the sum H4662 of the numbering H5971 of the people H1732 to David. H3478 All those of Israel H505 were one H505 million H3967 one hundred H505 thousand H376 men H8025 who drew H2719 sword: H3063 and in Judah H702 were four H3967 hundred H7657 seventy H505 thousand H376 men H8025 who drew H2719 sword.
  6 H6485 But he didn't count H3878 Levi H1144 and Benjamin H8432 among H4428 them; for the king's H1697 word H8581 was abominable H3097 to Joab.
  7 H430 God H3415 was displeased H1697 with this thing; H5221 therefore he struck H3478 Israel.
  8 H1732 David H559 said H430 to God, H2398 "I have sinned H3966 greatly, H6213 in that I have done H1697 this thing. H5674 But now, put away, H5771 I beg you, the iniquity H5650 of your servant; H3966 for I have done very H5528 foolishly."
  9 H3068 Yahweh H1696 spoke H1410 to Gad, H1732 David's H2374 seer, H559 saying,
  10 H3212 "Go H1696 and speak H1732 to David, H559 saying, H559 ‘Thus says H3068 Yahweh, H5186 "I offer H7969 you three H977 things. Choose H259 one H2007 of them, H6213 that I may do it to you."'"
  11 H1410 So Gad H935 came H1732 to David, H559 and said H559 to him, "Thus says H3068 Yahweh, H6901 ‘Take your choice:
  12 H7969 either three H8141 years H7458 of famine; H7969 or three H2320 months H5595 to be consumed H6440 before H6862 your foes, H2719 while the sword H341 of your enemies H5381 overtakes H518 you; or H7969 else three H3117 days H2719 the sword H3068 of Yahweh, H1698 even pestilence H776 in the land, H4397 and the angel H3068 of Yahweh H7843 destroying H1366 throughout all the borders H3478 of Israel. H7200 Now therefore consider H1697 what answer H7725 I shall return H7971 to him who sent me.'"
  13 H1732 David H559 said H1410 to Gad, H3966 "I am in H6887 distress. H5307 Let me fall, H3027 I pray, into the hand H3068 of Yahweh; H7356 for his mercies H3966 are very H7227 great. H5307 Let me not fall H3027 into the hand H120 of man."
  14 H3068 So Yahweh H5414 sent H1698 a pestilence H3478 on Israel; H7657 and seventy H505 thousand H376 men H3478 of Israel H5307 fell.
  15 H430 God H7971 sent H4397 an angel H3389 to Jerusalem H7843 to destroy H7843 it. As he was about to destroy, H3068 Yahweh H7200 saw, H5162 and he relented H7451 of the disaster, H559 and said H7843 to the destroying H4397 angel, H7227 "It is enough; H7503 now stay H3027 your hand." H4397 The angel H3068 of Yahweh H5975 was standing H1637 by the threshing H771 floor of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite.
  16 H1732 David H5375 lifted up H5869 his eyes, H7200 and saw H4397 the angel H3068 of Yahweh H5975 standing H776 between earth H8064 and the sky, H8025 having a drawn H2719 sword H3027 in his hand H5186 stretched out H3389 over Jerusalem. H1732 Then David H2205 and the elders, H3680 clothed H8242 in sackcloth, H5307 fell H6440 on their faces.
  17 H1732 David H559 said H430 to God, H559 "Isn't it I who commanded H5971 the people H4487 to be numbered? H2398 It is even I who have sinned H7489 and done very H7489 wickedly; H6629 but these sheep, H6213 what have they done? H3027 Please let your hand, H3068 O Yahweh H430 my God, H1 be against me, and against my father's H1004 house; H5971 but not against your people, H4046 that they should be plagued."
  18 H4397 Then the angel H3068 of Yahweh H559 commanded H1410 Gad H559 to tell H1732 David H1732 that David H5927 should go up, H6965 and raise H4196 an altar H3068 to Yahweh H1637 in the threshing H771 floor of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite.
  19 H1732 David H5927 went up H1697 at the saying H1410 of Gad, H1696 which he spoke H8034 in the name H3068 of Yahweh.
  20 H771 Ornan H7725 turned back, H7200 and saw H4397 the angel; H702 and his four H1121 sons H2244 who were with him hid H771 themselves. Now Ornan H1758 was threshing H2406 wheat.
  21 H1732 As David H935 came H771 to Ornan, H771 Ornan H5027 looked H5027 and saw H1732 David, H3318 and went out H1637 of the threshing H7812 floor, and bowed H1732 himself to David H639 with his face H776 to the ground.
  22 H1732 Then David H559 said H771 to Ornan, H5414 "Give H4725 me the place H1637 of this threshing H1129 floor, that I may build H4196 thereon an altar H3068 to Yahweh. H5414 You shall sell H4392 it to me for the full H3701 price, H4046 that the plague H6113 may be stopped H5971 from afflicting the people."
  23 H771 Ornan H559 said H1732 to David, H3947 "Take H113 it for yourself, and let my lord H4428 the king H6213 do H2896 that which is good H5869 in his eyes. H7200 Behold, H5414 I give H1241 the oxen H5930 for burnt offerings, H4173 and the threshing instruments H6086 for wood, H2406 and the wheat H4503 for the meal offering. H5414 I give it all."
  24 H4428 King H1732 David H559 said H771 to Ornan, H7069 "No; but I will most certainly H7069 buy H4392 it for the full H3701 price. H5375 For I will not take H3068 that which is yours for Yahweh, H5927 nor offer H5930 a burnt offering H2600 without cost."
  25 H1732 So David H5414 gave H771 to Ornan H8337 six H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H2091 of gold H4948 by weight H4725 for the place.
  26 H1732 David H1129 built H4196 an altar H3068 to Yahweh H5927 there, and offered H5930 burnt offerings H5930 and peace offerings, H7121 and called H3068 on Yahweh; H6030 and he answered H8064 him from the sky H784 by fire H4196 on the altar H5930 of burnt offering.
  27 H3068 Yahweh H559 commanded H4397 the angel; H7725 and he put up H2719 his sword H7725 again H5084 into its sheath.
  28 H6256 At that time, H1732 when David H7200 saw H3068 that Yahweh H6030 had answered H1637 him in the threshing H771 floor of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite, H2076 then he sacrificed there.
  29 H4908 For the tabernacle H3068 of Yahweh, H4872 which Moses H6213 made H4057 in the wilderness, H4196 and the altar H5930 of burnt offering, H6256 were at that time H1116 in the high place H1391 at Gibeon.
  30 H1732 But David H3201 couldn't H3212 go H6440 before H1875 it to inquire H3212 of God; H1204 for he was afraid H6440 because H2719 of the sword H4397 of the angel H3068 of Yahweh.
