2 Samuel 24:16-17
24:16 When the angel
extended his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the
Lord relented from his judgment.
He told the angel who was killing the people, “That’s enough! Stop now!”
(Now the
Lord’s angel was near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.)
24:17 When he saw the angel who was destroying the people, David said to the Lord, “Look, it is I who have sinned and done this evil thing! As for these sheep – what have they done? Attack me and my family.”
