1 And Satan H7854 stood up H5975 against H5921 PREP Israel H3478 , and provoked H5496 David H1732 to number H4487 L-VQFC Israel H3478 LMS .
2 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Joab H3097 and to H413 PREP the rulers H8269 CMP of the people H5971 , Go H1980 VQI2MP , number H5608 Israel H3478 from Beer H884 - sheba even to H5704 W-PREP Dan H1835 ; and bring H935 the number H4557 of them to H413 PREP me , that I may know H3045 it .
3 And Joab H3097 answered H559 W-VQY3MS , The LORD H3068 EDS make his people H5971 a hundred H3967 MFS times H6471 so many more H3254 as they H1992 be : but , my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS , are they not H3808 I-NADV all H3605 CMS-3MP my lord H113 \'s servants H5650 ? why H4100 L-IPRO then doth my lord H113 require H1245 this thing H2063 DPRO ? why H4100 L-IPRO will he be H1961 VQY3MS a cause of trespass H819 to Israel H3478 ?
4 Nevertheless the king H4428 D-NMS \'s word H1697 W-CMS prevailed H2388 against H5921 PREP Joab H3097 . Wherefore Joab H3097 departed H3318 W-VQY3MS , and went H1980 W-VTY3MS throughout all H3605 B-CMS Israel H3478 , and came H935 W-VQY3MS to Jerusalem H3389 .
5 And Joab H3097 gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS the sum H4557 CMS of the number H4662 of the people H5971 unto H413 PREP David H1732 . And all H3605 they of Israel H3478 were H1961 W-VQY3MS a thousand H505 W-BMS thousand H505 MMP and a hundred H3967 thousand H505 W-BMS men H376 NMS that drew H8025 sword H2719 GFS : and Judah H3063 was four H702 MFS hundred H3967 BFP threescore and ten H7657 W-MMP thousand H505 W-BMS men H376 NMS that drew H8025 sword H2719 GFS .
6 But Levi H3878 and Benjamin H1144 counted H6485 VQQ3MS he not H3808 NADV among H8432 them : for H3588 CONJ the king H4428 D-NMS \'s word H1697 CMS was abominable H8581 to Joab H3097 .
7 And God H430 D-EDP was displeased H5869 B-CMP with H5921 PREP this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS ; therefore he smote H5221 W-VHY3MS Israel H3478 LMS .
8 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP God H430 D-EDP , I have sinned H2398 greatly H3966 ADV , because H834 RPRO I have done H6213 VQQ1MS this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS : but now H6258 W-ADV , I beseech thee H4994 IJEC , do away H5674 the iniquity H5771 of thy servant H5650 ; for H3588 CONJ I have done very foolishly H5528 .
9 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Gad H1410 , David H1732 \'s seer H2374 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
10 Go H1980 VQI2MS and tell H1696 David H1732 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , I H589 PPRO-1MS offer H5186 VQPMS thee three H7969 MFS things : choose H977 thee one H259 OFS of them H1992 , that I may do H6213 it unto thee .
11 So Gad H1410 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Choose H6901 thee
12 Either H518 PART three H7969 NFS years H8141 NFP \' famine H7458 NMS ; or H518 PART three H7969 NFS months H2320 to be destroyed H5595 before H6440 M-CMP thy foes H6862 CMP-2MS , while that the sword H2719 of thine enemies H341 overtaketh H5381 thee ; or else H518 PART three H7969 NFS days H3117 NMP the sword H2719 GFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , even the pestilence H1698 , in the land H776 B-NFS , and the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS destroying H7843 throughout all H3605 B-CMS the coasts H1366 CMS of Israel H3478 . Now H6258 W-ADV therefore advise H7200 VQI2MS thyself what H4100 IGAT word H1697 I shall bring again H7725 to him that sent H7971 me .
13 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Gad H1410 , I am in a great strait H6887 : let me fall H5307 now H4994 IJEC into the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 EDS ; for H3588 CONJ very H3966 ADV great H7227 AMP are his mercies H7356 : but let me not H408 NPAR fall H5307 into the hand H3027 of man H120 NMS .
14 So the LORD H3068 EDS sent H5414 W-VQQ3MS pestilence H1698 upon Israel H3478 : and there fell H5307 W-VQY3MS of Israel H3478 seventy H7657 ONUM thousand H505 W-BMS men H376 NMS .
15 And God H430 D-EDP sent H7971 W-VQY3MS an angel H4397 NMS unto Jerusalem H3389 to destroy H7843 it : and as he was destroying H7843 , the LORD H3068 EDS beheld H7200 VQQ3MS , and he repented him H5162 W-VNY3MS of H5921 PREP the evil H7451 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS to the angel H4397 that destroyed H7843 , It is enough H7227 AMS , stay H7503 now H6258 ADV thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS . And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS stood H5975 by H5973 PREP the threshingfloor H1637 of Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983 .
16 And David H1732 lifted up H5375 W-VQY3MS his eyes H5869 CMD-3MS , and saw H7200 W-VIY3MS the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS stand H5975 between H996 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS and the heaven H8064 D-NMD , having a drawn H8025 sword H2719 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS stretched out H5186 over H5921 PREP Jerusalem H3389 . Then David H1732 and the elders H2205 of Israel , who were clothed H3680 in sackcloth H8242 , fell H5307 W-VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP their faces H6440 .
17 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP God H430 D-EDP , Is it not H3808 ADV I H589 PPRO-1MS that commanded H559 W-VQY3MS the people H5971 to be numbered H4487 L-VQFC ? even I H589 PPRO-1MS it H1931 PPRO-3MS is that H834 RPRO have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS and done evil indeed H7489 ; but as for these H428 W-PMP sheep H6629 , what H4100 IPRO have they done H6213 VQQ3MP ? let thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , O LORD H3068 EDS my God H430 , be H1961 VQI3FS on me , and on my father H1 CMS-1MS \'s house H1004 ; but not H3808 NADV on thy people H5971 , that they should be plagued H4046 .
18 Then the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS commanded H559 VQQ3MS Gad H1410 to say H559 L-VQFC to David H1732 , that H3588 CONJ David H1732 should go up H5927 VQY3MS , and set up H6965 an altar H4196 NMS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS in the threshingfloor H1637 of Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983 .
19 And David H1732 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS at the saying H1697 of Gad H1410 , which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
20 And Ornan H771 turned back H7725 , and saw H7200 W-VIY3MS the angel H4397 ; and his four H702 sons H1121 CMP-3MS with H5973 PREP-3MS him hid themselves H2244 . Now Ornan H771 was threshing H1758 wheat H2406 .
21 And as David H1732 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H5704 PREP Ornan H771 , Ornan H771 looked H5027 and saw H7200 W-VIY3MS David H1732 , and went out H3318 W-VQY3MS of H4480 PREP the threshingfloor H1637 , and bowed himself H7812 to David H1732 with his face H639 NMD to the ground H776 NFS-3FS .
22 Then David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Ornan H771 , Grant H5414 me the place H4725 CMS of this threshingfloor H1637 , that I may build H1129 an altar H4196 NMS therein unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS : thou shalt grant H5414 it me for the full H4392 price H3701 : that the plague H4046 may be stayed H6113 from M-PREP the people H5971 D-NMS .
23 And Ornan H771 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 , Take H3947 VQI2MS it to thee , and let my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS do H6213 that which is good H2896 D-NMS in his eyes H5869 B-CMD-3MS : lo H7200 VQI2MS , I give H5414 VQQ1MS thee the oxen H1241 D-NMS also for burnt offerings H5930 , and the threshing instruments H4173 for wood H6086 , and the wheat H2406 for the meat offering H4503 ; I give H5414 it all H3605 .
24 And king H4428 D-NMS David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS to Ornan H771 , Nay H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ I will verily buy H7069 it for the full H4392 price H3701 : for H3588 CONJ I will not H3808 NADV take H5375 VQY1MS that which H834 RPRO is thine for the LORD H3068 L-EDS , nor offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 NFS without cost H2600 ADV .
25 So David H1732 gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS to Ornan H771 for the place H4725 six H8337 RFS hundred H3967 shekels H8255 of gold H2091 NMS by weight H4948 NMS .
26 And David H1732 built H1129 W-VQY3MS there H8033 ADV an altar H4196 NMS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , and offered H5927 W-VHY3MS burnt offerings H5930 CFP and peace offerings H8002 , and called H7121 W-VQY3MS upon H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS ; and he answered H6030 him from H4480 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD by fire H784 upon H5921 PREP the altar H4196 of burnt offering H5930 .
27 And the LORD H3068 EDS commanded H559 W-VQY3MS the angel H4397 ; and he put up his sword again H7725 W-VHY3MS into H413 PREP the sheath H5084 thereof .
28 At that H1931 time H6256 when David H1732 saw H7200 that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS had answered H6030 him in the threshingfloor H1637 of Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983 D-TMS , then he sacrificed H2076 there H8033 ADV .
29 For the tabernacle H4908 of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO Moses H4872 made H6213 VQQ3MS in the wilderness H4057 , and the altar H4196 of the burnt offering H5930 , were at that H1931 season H6256 in the high place H1116 at Gibeon H1391 .
30 But David H1732 could H3201 not H3808 W-NPAR go H1980 L-VQFC before H6440 L-CMP-3MS it to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of God H430 EDP : for H3588 CONJ he was afraid H1204 because H6440 M-CMP of the sword H2719 GFS of the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
