13 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for His amercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
14 So the Lord sent a aplague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 And God sent1 an aangel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As2 he was destroying, the Lord looked and brelented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, “It is enough; now restrain3 your hand.” And the angel of the Lord stood by the cthreshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Then David lifted his eyes and asaw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
17 And David said to God, “Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these asheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O Lord my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.”
