1 Chronicles 21:13-30

21:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gad
<01410>_,

I am in a great
<03966>

strait
<06887> (8804)_:

let me fall
<05307> (8799)

now into the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

for very
<03966>

great
<07227>

[are] his mercies
<07356>_:

but let me not fall
<05307> (8799)

into the hand
<03027>

of man
<0120>_.

{very great: or, very many}

21:14

So the LORD
<03068>

sent
<05414> (8799)

pestilence
<01698>

upon Israel
<03478>_:

and there fell
<05307> (8799)

of Israel
<03478>

seventy
<07657>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

21:15

And God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

an angel
<04397>

unto Jerusalem
<03389>

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

it: and as he was destroying
<07843> (8687)_,

the LORD
<03068>

beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and he repented
<05162> (8735)

him of the evil
<07451>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to the angel
<04397>

that destroyed
<07843> (8688)_,

It is enough
<07227>_,

stay
<07503> (8685)

now thine hand
<03027>_.

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.

{Ornan: also called, Araunah}

21:16

And David
<01732>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

stand
<05975> (8802)

between the earth
<0776>

and the heaven
<08064>_,

having a drawn
<08025> (8803)

sword
<02719>

in his hand
<03027>

stretched out
<05186> (8803)

over Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Then David
<01732>

and the elders
<02205>

[of Israel, who were] clothed
<03680> (8794)

in sackcloth
<08242>_,

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon their faces
<06440>_.

21:17

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

[Is it] not I [that] commanded
<0559> (8804)

the people
<05971>

to be numbered
<04487> (8800)_?

even I it is that have sinned
<02398> (8804)

and done evil
<07489> (8689)

indeed
<07489> (8687)_;

but [as for] these sheep
<06629>_,

what have they done
<06213> (8804)_?

let thine hand
<03027>_,

I pray thee, O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

be on me, and on my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_;

but not on thy people
<05971>_,

that they should be plagued
<04046>_.

21:18

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

Gad
<01410>

to say
<0559> (8800)

to David
<01732>_,

that David
<01732>

should go up
<05927> (8799)_,

and set up
<06965> (8687)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>

in the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.

21:19

And David
<01732>

went up
<05927> (8799)

at the saying
<01697>

of Gad
<01410>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

21:20

And Ornan
<0771>

turned back
<07725> (8799)_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the angel
<04397>_;

and his four
<0702>

sons
<01121>

with him hid
<02244> (8693)

themselves. Now Ornan
<0771>

was threshing
<01758> (8804)

wheat
<02406>_.

{And Ornan...: or, When Ornan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves}

21:21

And as David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>_,

Ornan
<0771>

looked
<05027> (8686)

and saw
<07200> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

of the threshingfloor
<01637>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself to David
<01732>

with [his] face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_.

21:22

Then David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>_,

Grant
<05414> (8798)

me the place
<04725>

of [this] threshingfloor
<01637>_,

that I may build
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

therein unto the LORD
<03068>_:

thou shalt grant
<05414> (8798)

it me for the full
<04392>

price
<03701>_:

that the plague
<04046>

may be stayed
<06113> (8735)

from the people
<05971>_.

{Grant: Heb. Give}

21:23

And Ornan
<0771>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

[it] to thee, and let my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

do
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in his eyes
<05869>_:

lo
<07200> (8798)_,

I give
<05414> (8804)

[thee] the oxen
<01241>

[also] for burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and the threshing instruments
<04173>

for wood
<06086>_,

and the wheat
<02406>

for the meat offering
<04503>_;

I give
<05414> (8804)

it all.

21:24

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>_,

Nay; but I will verily
<07069> (8800)

buy
<07069> (8799)

it for the full
<04392>

price
<03701>_:

for I will not take
<05375> (8799)

[that] which [is] thine for the LORD
<03068>_,

nor offer
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

without cost
<02600>_.

21:25

So David
<01732>

gave
<05414> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>

for the place
<04725>

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of gold
<02091>

by weight
<04948>_.

21:26

And David
<01732>

built
<01129> (8799)

there an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

upon the LORD
<03068>_;

and he answered
<06030> (8799)

him from heaven
<08064>

by fire
<0784>

upon the altar
<04196>

of burnt offering
<05930>_.

21:27

And the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

the angel
<04397>_;

and he put up
<07725> (0)

his sword
<02719>

again
<07725> (8686)

into the sheath
<05084>

thereof.

21:28

At that time
<06256>

when David
<01732>

saw
<07200> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

had answered
<06030> (8804)

him in the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_,

then he sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

there.

21:29

For the tabernacle
<04908>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which Moses
<04872>

made
<06213> (8804)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and the altar
<04196>

of the burnt offering
<05930>_,

[were] at that season
<06256>

in the high place
<01116>

at Gibeon
<01391>_.

21:30

But David
<01732>

could
<03201> (8804)

not go
<03212> (8800)

before
<06440>

it to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of God
<0430>_:

for he was afraid
<01204> (8738)

because
<06440>

of the sword
<02719>

of the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
