2 Samuel 24:1-17

24:1

And again
<03254> (8686)

the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8800)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he moved
<05496> (8686)

David
<01732>

against them to say
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

number
<04487> (8798)

Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_.

24:2

For the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<02428>_,

which [was] with him, Go now through
<07751> (8798)

all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>_,

and number
<06485> (8798)

ye the people
<05971>_,

that I may know
<03045> (8804)

the number
<04557>

of the people
<05971>_.

{Go: or, Compass}

24:3

And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Now the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

add
<03254> (8686)

unto the people
<05971>_,

how many soever
<01992>

they be, an hundredfold
<03967> <06471>_,

and that the eyes
<05869>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

may see
<07200> (8802)

[it]: but why doth my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

delight
<02654> (8804)

in this thing
<01697>_?

24:4

Notwithstanding the king's
<04428>

word
<01697>

prevailed
<02388> (8799)

against Joab
<03097>_,

and against the captains
<08269>

of the host
<02428>_.

And Joab
<03097>

and the captains
<08269>

of the host
<02428>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of the king
<04428>_,

to number
<06485> (8800)

the people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>_.

24:5

And they passed over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Aroer
<06177>_,

on the right side
<03225>

of the city
<05892>

that [lieth] in the midst
<08432>

of the river
<05158>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and toward Jazer
<03270>_:

{river: or, valley}

24:6

Then they came
<0935> (8799)

to Gilead
<01568>_,

and to the land
<0776>

of Tahtimhodshi
<08483>_;

and they came
<0935> (8799)

to Danjaan
<01842>_,

and about
<05439>

to Zidon
<06721>_,

{land of Tahtimhodshi: or, nether land newly inhabited}

24:7

And came
<0935> (8799)

to the strong hold
<04013>

of Tyre
<06865>_,

and to all the cities
<05892>

of the Hivites
<02340>_,

and of the Canaanites
<03669>_:

and they went out
<03318> (8799)

to the south
<05045>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[even] to Beersheba
<0884>_.

24:8

So when they had gone
<07751> (8799)

through all the land
<0776>_,

they came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

at the end
<07097>

of nine
<08672>

months
<02320>

and twenty
<06242>

days
<03117>_.

24:9

And Joab
<03097>

gave up
<05414> (8799)

the sum
<04557>

of the number
<04662>

of the people
<05971>

unto the king
<04428>_:

and there were in Israel
<03478>

eight
<08083>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

valiant
<02428>

men
<0376> (8677) <0381>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

the sword
<02719>_;

and the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

[were] five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

24:10

And David's
<01732>

heart
<03820>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him after
<0310>

that he had numbered
<05608> (8804)

the people
<05971>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

greatly
<03966>

in that I have done
<06213> (8804)_:

and now, I beseech thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

take away
<05674> (8685)

the iniquity
<05771>

of thy servant
<05650>_;

for I have done very
<03966>

foolishly
<05528> (8738)_.

24:11

For when David
<01732>

was up
<06965> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>_,

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto the prophet
<05030>

Gad
<01410>_,

David's
<01732>

seer
<02374>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

24:12

Go
<01980> (8800)

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto David
<01732>_,

Thus saith
<01696> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I offer
<05190> (8802)

thee three
<07969>

[things]; choose
<0977> (8798)

thee one
<0259>

of them, that I may [do it] unto thee
<06213> (8799)_.

24:13

So Gad
<01410>

came
<0935> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Shall seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee in thy land
<0776>_?

or wilt thou flee
<05127> (8800)

three
<07969>

months
<02320>

before
<06440>

thine enemies
<06862>_,

while they pursue
<07291> (8802)

thee? or that there be three
<07969>

days
<03117>_'

pestilence
<01698>

in thy land
<0776>_?

now advise
<03045> (8798)_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

what answer
<01697>

I shall return
<07725> (8686)

to him that sent
<07971> (8802)

me.

24:14

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gad
<01410>_,

I am in a great
<03966>

strait
<06887> (8804)_:

let us fall
<05307> (8799)

now into the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

for his mercies
<07356>

[are] great
<07227>_:

and let me not fall
<05307> (8799)

into the hand
<03027>

of man
<0120>_.

{are great: or, are many}

24:15

So the LORD
<03068>

sent
<05414> (8799)

a pestilence
<01698>

upon Israel
<03478>

from the morning
<01242>

even to the time
<06256>

appointed
<04150>_:

and there died
<04191> (8799)

of the people
<05971>

from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>

seventy
<07657>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

24:16

And when the angel
<04397>

stretched out
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

upon Jerusalem
<03389>

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

it, the LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8735)

him of the evil
<07451>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to the angel
<04397>

that destroyed
<07843> (8688)

the people
<05971>_,

It is enough
<07227>_:

stay
<07503> (8685)

now thine hand
<03027>_.

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

was by the threshingplace
<01637>

of Araunah
<0728>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.

{Araunah: also called, Ornan}

24:17

And David
<01732>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

when he saw
<07200> (8800)

the angel
<04397>

that smote
<05221> (8688)

the people
<05971>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lo, I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and I have done wickedly
<05753> (8689)_:

but these sheep
<06629>_,

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

let thine hand
<03027>_,

I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.
