2 Samuel 24:10-14 And the heart of David convicted him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, in what I have now done: remove the iniquity of Your servant, I pray, for I have been exceedingly foolish.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And the heart of David convicted him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, in what I have now done: remove the iniquity of Your servant, I pray, for I have been exceedingly foolish. ¹¹ And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying, ¹² Thus says the Lord: I shall bring one of three things upon you: now choose one of them, and I will do it to you. ¹³ And Gad went in to David and told him, and said to him, Choose one of these things to befall you, whether there shall come upon you for three years famine in your land; or that you should flee three months before your enemies, and they should pursue you; or that there should be for three days mortality in your land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to Him that sent me. ¹⁴ And David said to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for His compassions are very many; and let me not fall into the hands of man.
