2 Samuel 24:12-15 »Go tell David: ‘This is what Jehovah says: »I offer you three choices. Choose the one you want me to do to you.«’«

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² »Go tell David: ‘This is what Jehovah says: »I offer you three choices. Choose the one you want me to do to you.«’« ¹³ Gad told David the three choices as follows: »Seven years of famine could come to you and your land. You could flee from your enemies as they pursue you for three months. Or there could be a three-day plague in your land? Think it over, and decide what answer I should give the one who sent me.« ¹⁴ »I am in a desperate situation,« David told Gad. »Please let us fall into Jehovah’s hands because he is very merciful. But do not let me fall into human hands.« ¹⁵ So Jehovah sent a plague among the Israelites from that morning until the time he had chosen. Of the people from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand died.
