1 And again H3254 W-VHPMS the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS was kindled H2734 against Israel H3478 , and he moved H5496 David H1732 MMS against them to say H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MS , number H4487 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 .
2 For the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Joab H3097 the captain H8269 of the host H2428 , which H834 RPRO was with H854 PREP-3MS him , Go H7751 now H4994 IJEC through all H3605 B-CMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 , from Dan H1835 even to H5704 W-PREP Beer H884 - sheba , and number H6485 ye the people H5971 , that I may know H3045 the number H4557 CMS of the people H5971 D-NMS .
3 And Joab H3097 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , Now the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS add H3254 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , how many soever they be a hundredfold H3967 MFS , and that the eyes H5869 W-CMD of my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS may see H7200 it : but why H4100 L-IPRO doth my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS delight H2654 in this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 ?
4 Notwithstanding the king H4428 D-NMS \'s word H1697 CMS prevailed H2388 against H413 PREP Joab H3097 , and against H5921 W-PREP the captains H8269 CMP of the host H2428 . And Joab H3097 and the captains H8269 of the host H2428 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS from the presence H6440 L-CMP of the king H4428 D-NMS , to number H6485 the people H5971 of Israel H3478 LMS .
5 And they passed over H5674 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , and pitched H2583 W-VQY3MP in Aroer H6177 , on the right side H3225 of the city H5892 D-GFS that H834 RPRO lieth in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the river H5158 of Gad H1410 , and toward H413 W-PREP Jazer H3270 :
6 Then they came H935 W-VQY3MP to Gilead H1568 , and to H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of Tahtim H8483 - hodshi ; and they came H935 W-VQY3MP to Dan H1842 - jaan , and about H5439 to H413 PREP Zidon H6721 ,
7 And came H935 W-VQY3MP to the stronghold H4013 of Tyre H6865 , and to all H3605 W-CMS the cities H5892 of the Hivites H2340 , and of the Canaanites H3669 WD-EMS : and they went out H3318 to PREP the PREP south H5045 of Judah H3063 , even to Beer H884 - sheba .
8 So when they had gone H7751 through all H3605 B-CMS the land H776 D-GFS , they came H935 W-VQY3MP to Jerusalem H3389 at the end H7097 M-CMS of nine H8672 months H2320 and twenty H6242 W-MMP days H3117 NMS .
9 And Joab H3097 gave up H5414 W-VQQ3MS the sum H4557 CMS of the number H4662 of the people H5971 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS : and there were H1961 W-VQY3FS in Israel H3478 eight H8083 MFS hundred H3967 BFP thousand H505 W-BMS valiant H2428 NMS men H376 NMS that drew H8025 the sword H2719 GFS ; and the men H376 W-NMS of Judah H3063 were five H2568 BFS hundred H3967 BFP thousand H505 W-BMS men H376 NMS .
10 And David H1732 MMS \'s heart H3820 NMS smote H5221 W-VHY3MS him after H310 PREP that H3651 ADV he had numbered H5608 the people H5971 . And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , I have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS greatly H3966 ADV in that H834 RPRO I have done H6213 VQQ1MS : and now H6258 W-ADV , I beseech thee H4994 IJEC , O LORD H3068 EDS , take away H5674 the iniquity H5771 of thy servant H5650 ; for H3588 CONJ I have done very H3966 ADV foolishly H5528 .
11 For when David H1732 MMS was up H6965 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 B-NMS , the word H1697 W-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP the prophet H5030 Gad H1410 , David H1732 \'s seer H2374 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
12 Go H1980 VQFA and say H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Thus H3541 saith H1696 the LORD H3068 EDS , I H595 PPRO-1MS offer H5190 thee three H7969 MFS things ; choose H977 thee one H259 of H4480 them , that I H6213 may do H6213 it unto thee .
13 So Gad H1410 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , and told H5046 him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Shall seven H7651 years H8141 NFP of famine H7458 NMS come H935 unto thee in thy land H776 ? or H518 PART wilt thou flee H5127 three H7969 NFS months H2320 before H6440 thine enemies H6862 CMP-2MS , while they H1931 W-PPRO-3MS pursue H7291 thee ? or H518 PART that there be H1961 VQFC three H7969 NFS days H3117 NMP \' pestilence H1698 in thy land H776 ? now H6258 ADV advise H3045 , and see H7200 W-VQI2MS what H4100 IGAT answer H1697 I shall return H7725 to him that sent H7971 me .
14 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Gad H1410 , I am in a great H3966 ADV strait H6862 AMS : let us fall H5307 now H4994 IJEC into the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 EDS ; for H3588 CONJ his mercies H7356 are great H7227 AMP : and let me not H408 NPAR fall H5307 into the hand H3027 of man H120 NMS .
15 So the LORD H3068 EDS sent H5414 W-VQQ3MS a pestilence H1698 upon Israel H3478 from the morning H1242 even to H5704 W-PREP the time H6256 NMS appointed H4150 NMS : and there died H4191 W-VQY3MS of H4480 PREP the people H5971 from Dan H1835 even to H5704 W-PREP Beer H884 - sheba seventy H7657 ONUM thousand H505 W-BMS men H376 NMS .
16 And when the angel H4397 stretched out H7971 W-VQY3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS upon Jerusalem H3389 to destroy H7843 it , the LORD H3068 EDS repented him H5162 W-VNY3MS of H413 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS to the angel H4397 that destroyed H7843 the people H5971 , It is enough H7227 AMS : stay H7503 now H6258 ADV thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS . And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS by H5973 PREP the threshingplace H1637 of Araunah H728 the Jebusite H2983 .
17 And David H1732 MMS spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS when he saw H7200 the angel H4397 that smote H5221 the people H5971 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Lo H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS , and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS have done wickedly H5753 VHQ1MS : but 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 , be H1961 VQI3FS against me , and against my father H1 \'s house H1004 .
18 And Gad H1410 came H935 W-VQY3MS that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Go up H5927 , rear H6965 an altar H4196 NMS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS in the threshingfloor H1637 of Araunah H728 the Jebusite H2983 .
19 And David H1732 MMS , according to the saying H1697 K-NMS of Gad H1410 , went up H5927 W-VHY3MS as H834 K-RPRO the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS commanded H6680 VPQ3MS .
20 And Araunah H728 looked H8259 , and saw H7200 W-VIY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS and his servants H5650 coming on H5674 toward H5921 PREP-3MS him : and Araunah H728 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS , and bowed himself H7812 before the king H4428 on his face H639 upon the ground H776 NFS-3FS .
21 And Araunah H728 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Wherefore H4069 IPRO is my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS come H935 VQPMS to H413 PREP his servant H5650 ? And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , To buy H7069 the threshingfloor H1637 of thee , to build H1129 an altar H4196 NMS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , that the plague H4046 may be stayed H6113 from M-PREP the people H5971 D-NMS .
22 And Araunah H728 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Let my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS take H3947 and offer up H5927 what seemeth good H2896 D-NMS unto him H5869 : behold H7200 VQI2MS , here be oxen H1241 D-NMS for burnt sacrifice H5930 , and threshing instruments H4173 and other instruments H3627 of the oxen H1241 D-NMS for wood H6086 .
23 All H3605 these things did Araunah H728 , as a king H4428 D-NMS , give H5414 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 . And Araunah H728 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the king H4428 D-NMS , The LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS accept H7521 thee .
24 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Araunah H728 , Nay H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ I will surely buy H7069 it of thee at a price H4242 : neither H3808 W-NADV will I offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 CFP unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS my God H430 of that which H834 doth cost me nothing H2600 ADV . So David H1732 MMS bought H7069 the threshingfloor H1637 and the oxen H1241 D-NMS for fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver H3701 .
25 And David H1732 MMS 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 . So the LORD H3068 EDS was entreated H6279 for the land H776 LD-NFS , and the plague H4046 was stayed H6113 from M-PREP Israel H3478 LMS .
