1 Chronicles 21

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7854 And Satan H5975 stood up [H8799]   H3478 against Israel H5496 , and provoked [H8686]   H1732 David H4487 to number [H8800]   H3478 Israel.
  2 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H3097 to Joab H8269 and to the rulers H5971 of the people H3212 , Go [H8798]   H5608 , number [H8798]   H3478 Israel H884 from Beersheba H1835 even to Dan H935 ; and bring [H8685]   H4557 the number H3045 of them to me, that I may know [H8799]   it .
  3 H3097 And Joab H559 answered [H8799]   H3068 , The LORD H5971 make his people H3967 an hundred H6471 times H3254 so many more [H8686]   H1992 as they H113 be : but, my lord H4428 the king H113 , are they not all my lord's H5650 servants H113 ? why then doth my lord H1245 require [H8762]   H819 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass H3478 to Israel?
  4 H4428 Nevertheless the king's H1697 word H2388 prevailed [H8804]   H3097 against Joab H3097 . Wherefore Joab H3318 departed [H8799]   H1980 , and went [H8691]   H3478 throughout all Israel H935 , and came [H8799]   H3389 to Jerusalem.
  5 H3097 And Joab H5414 gave [H8799]   H4557 the sum H4662 of the number H5971 of the people H1732 unto David H3478 . And all they of Israel H505 were a thousand H505 thousand H3967 and an hundred H505 thousand H376 men H8025 that drew [H8802]   H2719 sword H3063 : and Judah H702 was four H3967 hundred H7657 threescore and ten H505 thousand H376 men H8025 that drew [H8802]   H2719 sword.
  6 H3878 But Levi H1144 and Benjamin H6485 counted [H8804]   H8432 he not among H4428 them: for the king's H1697 word H8581 was abominable [H8738]   H3097 to Joab.
  7 H430 And God H3415 was displeased [H8799]   H5869   H1697 with this thing H5221 ; therefore he smote [H8686]   H3478 Israel.
  8 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H430 unto God H2398 , I have sinned [H8804]   H3966 greatly H6213 , because I have done [H8804]   H1697 this thing H5674 : but now, I beseech thee, do away [H8685]   H5771 the iniquity H5650 of thy servant H3966 ; for I have done very H5528 foolishly [H8738]  .
  9 H3068 And the LORD H1696 spake [H8762]   H1410 unto Gad H1732 , David's H2374 seer H559 , saying [H8800]  ,
  10 H3212 Go [H8798]   H1696 and tell [H8765]   H1732 David H559 , saying [H8800]   H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H5186 , I offer [H8802]   H7969 thee three H977 things : choose [H8798]   H259 thee one H2007 of them H6213 , that I may do [H8799]   it unto thee.
  11 H1410 So Gad H935 came [H8799]   H1732 to David H559 , and said [H8799]   H559 unto him, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H6901 , Choose [H8761]   thee
  12 H7969 Either three H8141 years H7458 ' famine H7969 ; or three H2320 months H5595 to be destroyed [H8737]   H6440 before H6862 thy foes H2719 , while that the sword H341 of thine enemies [H8802]   H5381 overtaketh [H8688]   H518 thee; or H7969 else three H3117 days H2719 the sword H3068 of the LORD H1698 , even the pestilence H776 , in the land H4397 , and the angel H3068 of the LORD H7843 destroying [H8688]   H1366 throughout all the coasts H3478 of Israel H7200 . Now therefore advise [H8798]   H1697 thyself what word H7725 I shall bring again [H8686]   H7971 to him that sent [H8802]   me.
  13 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H1410 unto Gad H3966 , I am in a great H6887 strait [H8804]   H5307 : let me fall [H8799]   H3027 now into the hand H3068 of the LORD H3966 ; for very H7227 great H7356 are his mercies H5307 : but let me not fall [H8799]   H3027 into the hand H120 of man.
  14 H3068 So the LORD H5414 sent [H8799]   H1698 pestilence H3478 upon Israel H5307 : and there fell [H8799]   H3478 of Israel H7657 seventy H505 thousand H376 men.
  15 H430 And God H7971 sent [H8799]   H4397 an angel H3389 unto Jerusalem H7843 to destroy [H8687]   H7843 it: and as he was destroying [H8687]   H3068 , the LORD H7200 beheld [H8804]   H5162 , and he repented [H8735]   H7451 him of the evil H559 , and said [H8799]   H4397 to the angel H7843 that destroyed [H8688]   H7227 , It is enough H7503 , stay [H8685]   H3027 now thine hand H4397 . And the angel H3068 of the LORD H5975 stood [H8802]   H1637 by the threshingfloor H771 of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite.
  16 H1732 And David H5375 lifted up [H8799]   H5869 his eyes H7200 , and saw [H8799]   H4397 the angel H3068 of the LORD H5975 stand [H8802]   H776 between the earth H8064 and the heaven H8025 , having a drawn [H8803]   H2719 sword H3027 in his hand H5186 stretched out [H8803]   H3389 over Jerusalem H1732 . Then David H2205 and the elders H3680 of Israel, who were clothed [H8794]   H8242 in sackcloth H5307 , fell [H8799]   H6440 upon their faces.
  17 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H430 unto God H559 , Is it not I that commanded [H8804]   H5971 the people H4487 to be numbered [H8800]   H2398 ? even I it is that have sinned [H8804]   H7489 and done evil [H8689]   H7489 indeed [H8687]   H6629 ; but as for these sheep H6213 , what have they done [H8804]   H3027 ? let thine hand H3068 , I pray thee, O LORD H430 my God H1 , be on me, and on my father's H1004 house H5971 ; but not on thy people H4046 , that they should be plagued.
  18 H4397 Then the angel H3068 of the LORD H559 commanded [H8804]   H1410 Gad H559 to say [H8800]   H1732 to David H1732 , that David H5927 should go up [H8799]   H6965 , and set up [H8687]   H4196 an altar H3068 unto the LORD H1637 in the threshingfloor H771 of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite.
  19 H1732 And David H5927 went up [H8799]   H1697 at the saying H1410 of Gad H1696 , which he spake [H8765]   H8034 in the name H3068 of the LORD.
  20 H771 And Ornan H7725 turned back [H8799]   H7200 , and saw [H8799]   H4397 the angel H702 ; and his four H1121 sons H2244 with him hid [H8693]   H771 themselves. Now Ornan H1758 was threshing [H8804]   H2406 wheat.
  21 H1732 And as David H935 came [H8799]   H771 to Ornan H771 , Ornan H5027 looked [H8686]   H7200 and saw [H8799]   H1732 David H3318 , and went out [H8799]   H1637 of the threshingfloor H7812 , and bowed [H8691]   H1732 himself to David H639 with his face H776 to the ground.
  22 H1732 Then David H559 said [H8799]   H771 to Ornan H5414 , Grant [H8798]   H4725 me the place H1637 of this threshingfloor H1129 , that I may build [H8799]   H4196 an altar H3068 therein unto the LORD H5414 : thou shalt grant [H8798]   H4392 it me for the full H3701 price H4046 : that the plague H6113 may be stayed [H8735]   H5971 from the people.
  23 H771 And Ornan H559 said [H8799]   H1732 unto David H3947 , Take [H8798]   H113 it to thee, and let my lord H4428 the king H6213 do [H8799]   H2896 that which is good H5869 in his eyes H7200 : lo [H8798]   H5414 , I give [H8804]   H1241 thee the oxen H5930 also for burnt offerings H4173 , and the threshing instruments H6086 for wood H2406 , and the wheat H4503 for the meat offering H5414 ; I give [H8804]   it all.
  24 H4428 And king H1732 David H559 said [H8799]   H771 to Ornan H7069 , Nay; but I will verily [H8800]   H7069 buy [H8799]   H4392 it for the full H3701 price H5375 : for I will not take [H8799]   H3068 that which is thine for the LORD H5927 , nor offer [H8687]   H5930 burnt offerings H2600 without cost.
  25 H1732 So David H5414 gave [H8799]   H771 to Ornan H4725 for the place H8337 six H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H2091 of gold H4948 by weight.
  26 H1732 And David H1129 built [H8799]   H4196 there an altar H3068 unto the LORD H5927 , and offered [H8686]   H5930 burnt offerings H8002 and peace offerings H7121 , and called [H8799]   H3068 upon the LORD H6030 ; and he answered [H8799]   H8064 him from heaven H784 by fire H4196 upon the altar H5930 of burnt offering.
  27 H3068 And the LORD H559 commanded [H8799]   H4397 the angel H7725 ; and he put up H2719 his sword H7725 again [H8686]   H5084 into the sheath thereof.
  28 H6256 At that time H1732 when David H7200 saw [H8800]   H3068 that the LORD H6030 had answered [H8804]   H1637 him in the threshingfloor H771 of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite H2076 , then he sacrificed [H8799]   there.
  29 H4908 For the tabernacle H3068 of the LORD H4872 , which Moses H6213 made [H8804]   H4057 in the wilderness H4196 , and the altar H5930 of the burnt offering H6256 , were at that season H1116 in the high place H1391 at Gibeon.
  30 H1732 But David H3201 could [H8804]   H3212 not go [H8800]   H6440 before H1875 it to enquire [H8800]   H430 of God H1204 : for he was afraid [H8738]   H6440 because H2719 of the sword H4397 of the angel H3068 of the LORD.
ERV(i) 1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. 2 And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them. 3 And Joab said, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel? 4 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5 And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword; 6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. 7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 9 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10 Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Take which thou wilt; 12 either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man. 14 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out ever Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued. 18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD. 20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 22 Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the LORD: for the full price shalt thou give it me: that the plague may be stayed from the people. 23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering; I give it all. 24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering without cost. 25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. 27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. 30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
