2 Samuel 24:10-14 And the heart of David smote him, after he had reckoned up the people,––and David said unto Yahweh––I have sinned greatly, in what I have done, Now, therefore, O Yahweh, take away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And the heart of David smote him, after he had reckoned up the people,––and David said unto Yahweh––I have sinned greatly, in what I have done, Now, therefore, O Yahweh, take away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly. ¹¹ And, when David arose in the morning, the word of Yahweh, had come unto Gad the prophet, the seer of David, saying: ¹² Go and speak unto David––Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee,––choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. ¹³ So Gad came in unto David, and told him,––and said to him: Shall there come unto thee seven years of famine in thy land? Or, for three months, wilt thou flee before thine enemies while, they, pursue thee? Or shall there be, for three days, pestilence in thy land? Now, consider and see, what, answer, I shall return to him that sent me. ¹⁴ And David said unto Gad––I am in a great strait,––let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for, manifold, are, his compassions, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
