2 Samuel 24

KJV

1  And again³²⁵⁴ the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he moved^{5496 853} David¹⁷³² against them to say,⁵⁵⁹ Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ number^{4487 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

2  For the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Joab³⁰⁹⁷ the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of the host,²⁴²⁸ which⁸³⁴ was with⁸⁵⁴ him, Go⁷⁷⁵¹ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ through all³⁶⁰⁵ the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ from Dan^{4480 1835} even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Beer-sheba,⁸⁸⁴ and number⁶⁴⁸⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that I may know^{3045 853} the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

3  And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Now the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ add³²⁵⁴ unto⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ how many soever they be^{1992 1992} a hundredfold,^{3967 6471} and that the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ may see⁷²⁰⁰ it: but why⁴¹⁰⁰ doth my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ delight²⁶⁵⁴ in this²⁰⁸⁸ thing?¹⁶⁹⁷

4  Notwithstanding the king's⁴⁴²⁸ word¹⁶⁹⁷ prevailed²³⁸⁸ against⁴¹³ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and against⁵⁹²¹ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the host.²⁴²⁸ And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ and the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the host²⁴²⁸ went out³³¹⁸ from the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ to number^{6485 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  And they passed over^{5674 853} Jordan,³³⁸³ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in Aroer,⁶¹⁷⁷ on the right side³²²⁵ of the city⁵⁸⁹² that⁸³⁴ lieth in the midst⁸⁴³² of the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ and toward⁴¹³ Jazer:³²⁷⁰

6  Then they came⁹³⁵ to Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and to⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Tahtim-hodshi;⁸⁴⁸³ and they came⁹³⁵ to Dan-jaan,¹⁸⁴² and about⁵⁴³⁹ to⁴¹³ Zidon,⁶⁷²¹

7  And came⁹³⁵ to the stronghold⁴⁰¹³ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁶⁵ and to all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the Hivites,²³⁴⁰ and of the Canaanites:³⁶⁶⁹ and they went out³³¹⁸ to⁴¹³ the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ even to Beer-sheba.⁸⁸⁴

8  So when they had gone⁷⁷⁵¹ through all³⁶⁰⁵ the land,⁷⁷⁶ they came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ at the end^{4480 7097} of nine⁸⁶⁷² months²³²⁰ and twenty⁶²⁴² days.³¹¹⁷

9  And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ gave up^{5414 853} the sum⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the number⁴⁶⁶² of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ the king:⁴⁴²⁸ and there were¹⁹⁶¹ in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ valiant²⁴²⁸ men³⁷⁶ that drew⁸⁰²⁵ the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ were five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶

10  And David's¹⁷³² heart³⁸²⁰ smote⁵²²¹ him after³¹⁰ that³⁶⁵¹ he had numbered^{5608 853} the people.⁵⁹⁷¹ And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I have sinned²³⁹⁸ greatly³⁹⁶⁶ in that⁸³⁴ I have done:⁶²¹³ and now,⁶²⁵⁸ I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ take away^{5674 853} the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of thy servant;⁵⁶⁵⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ I have done very³⁹⁶⁶ foolishly.⁵⁵²⁸

11  For when David¹⁷³² was up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ David's¹⁷³² seer,²³⁷⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

12  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith¹⁶⁹⁶ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ offer^{5190 5921} thee three⁷⁹⁶⁹ things; choose⁹⁷⁷ thee one²⁵⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, that I may do⁶²¹³ it unto thee.

13  So Gad¹⁴¹⁰ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Shall seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ come⁹³⁵ unto thee in thy land?⁷⁷⁶ or⁵¹⁸ wilt thou flee⁵¹²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ months²³²⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine enemies,⁶⁸⁶² while they¹⁹³¹ pursue⁷²⁹¹ thee? or⁵¹⁸ that there be¹⁹⁶¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days'³¹¹⁷ pestilence¹⁶⁹⁸ in thy land?⁷⁷⁶ now⁶²⁵⁸ advise,³⁰⁴⁵ and see⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ answer¹⁶⁹⁷ I shall return⁷⁷²⁵ to him that sent⁷⁹⁷¹ me.

14  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ I am in a great³⁹⁶⁶ strait:⁶⁸⁶² let us fall⁵³⁰⁷ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercies⁷³⁵⁶ are great:⁷²²⁷ and let me not⁴⁰⁸ fall⁵³⁰⁷ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of man.¹²⁰

15  So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁵⁴¹⁴ a pestilence¹⁶⁹⁸ upon Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from the morning¹²⁴² even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the time⁶²⁵⁶ appointed:⁴¹⁵⁰ and there died⁴¹⁹¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from Dan^{4480 1835} even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Beer-sheba⁸⁸⁴ seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶

16  And when the angel⁴³⁹⁷ stretched out⁷⁹⁷¹ his hand³⁰²⁷ upon Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ it, the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ repented him⁵¹⁶² of⁴¹³ the evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ to the angel⁴³⁹⁷ that destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ It is enough:⁷²²⁷ stay⁷⁵⁰³ now⁶²⁵⁸ thine hand.³⁰²⁷ And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ by⁵⁹⁷³ the threshingplace¹⁶³⁷ of Araunah⁷²⁸ the Jebusite.²⁹⁸³

17  And David¹⁷³² spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ when he saw^{7200 853} the angel⁴³⁹⁷ that smote⁵²²¹ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ have sinned,²³⁹⁸ and I⁵⁹⁵ have done wickedly:⁵⁷⁵³ but these⁴²⁸ sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ have they done?⁶²¹³ let thine hand,³⁰²⁷ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ be¹⁹⁶¹ against me, and against my father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

18  And Gad¹⁴¹⁰ came⁹³⁵ that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ to⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Go up,⁵⁹²⁷ rear⁶⁹⁶⁵ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the threshingfloor¹⁶³⁷ of Araunah⁷²⁸ the Jebusite.²⁹⁸³

19  And David,¹⁷³² according to the saying¹⁶⁹⁷ of Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ went up⁵⁹²⁷ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded.⁶⁶⁸⁰

20  And Araunah⁷²⁸ looked,⁸²⁵⁹ and saw^{7200 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ and his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ coming on⁵⁶⁷⁴ toward⁵⁹²¹ him: and Araunah⁷²⁸ went out,³³¹⁸ and bowed himself⁷⁸¹² before the king⁴⁴²⁸ on his face⁶³⁹ upon the ground.⁷⁷⁶

21  And Araunah⁷²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ is my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ his servant?⁵⁶⁵⁰ And David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ To buy^{7069 853} the threshingfloor¹⁶³⁷ of^{4480 5973} thee, to build¹¹²⁹ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ may be stayed⁶¹¹³ from^{4480 5921} the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

22  And Araunah⁷²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Let my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ take³⁹⁴⁷ and offer up⁵⁹²⁷ what seemeth good²⁸⁹⁶ unto him:⁵⁸⁶⁹ behold,⁷²⁰⁰ here be oxen¹²⁴¹ for burnt sacrifice,⁵⁹³⁰ and threshing instruments⁴¹⁷³ and other instruments³⁶²⁷ of the oxen¹²⁴¹ for wood.⁶⁰⁸⁶

23  All³⁶⁰⁵ these things did Araunah,⁷²⁸ as a king,⁴⁴²⁸ give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto⁴¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸ And Araunah⁷²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the king,⁴⁴²⁸ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ accept⁷⁵²¹ thee.

24  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Araunah,⁷²⁸ Nay;³⁸⁰⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ I will surely buy^{7069 7069} it of^{4480 854} thee at a price:⁴²⁴² neither³⁸⁰⁸ will I offer⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God⁴³⁰ of that which⁸³⁴ doth cost me nothing.²⁶⁰⁰ So David¹⁷³² bought^{7069 853} the threshingfloor¹⁶³⁷ and the oxen¹²⁴¹ for fifty²⁵⁷² shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of silver.³⁷⁰¹

25  And David¹⁷³² built¹¹²⁹ there⁸⁰³³ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and peace offerings.⁸⁰⁰² So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was entreated⁶²⁷⁹ for the land,⁷⁷⁶ and the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ was stayed⁶¹¹³ from^{4480 5921} Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

1 καὶ προσέθετο ὀργὴ κυρίου ἐκκαῆναι ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπέσεισεν τὸν Δαυιδ ἐν αὐτοῖς λέγων βάδιζε ἀρίθμησον τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ τὸν Ιουδα

2 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ιωαβ ἄρχοντα τῆς ἰσχύος τὸν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ δίελθε δὴ πάσας φυλὰς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ Δαν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεε καὶ ἐπίσκεψαι τὸν λαόν καὶ γνώσομαι τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ

3 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωαβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ προσθείη κύριος ὁ θεός σου πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς καὶ ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς ἑκατονταπλασίονα καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως ὁρῶντες καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἵνα τί βούλεται ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ

4 καὶ ὑπερίσχυσεν ὁ λόγος τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς Ιωαβ καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ιωαβ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς ἰσχύος ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπισκέψασθαι τὸν λαὸν Ισραηλ

5 καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Αροηρ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἐν μέσῳ τῆς φάραγγος Γαδ καὶ Ελιεζερ

6 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν Γαλααδ καὶ εἰς γῆν Θαβασων ἥ ἐστιν Αδασαι καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς Δανιδαν καὶ Ουδαν καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν εἰς Σιδῶνα

7 καὶ ἦλθαν εἰς Μαψαρ Τύρου καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τοῦ Ευαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ ἦλθαν κατὰ νότον Ιουδα εἰς Βηρσαβεε

8 καὶ περιώδευσαν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ παρεγένοντο ἀπὸ τέλους ἐννέα μηνῶν καὶ εἴκοσι ἡμερῶν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

9 καὶ ἔδωκεν Ιωαβ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ἐγένετο Ισραηλ ὀκτακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν δυνάμεως σπωμένων ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀνὴρ Ιουδα πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν μαχητῶν

10 καὶ ἐπάταξεν καρδία Δαυιδ αὐτὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀριθμῆσαι τὸν λαόν καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς κύριον ἥμαρτον σφόδρα ὃ ἐποίησα νῦν κύριε παραβίβασον δὴ τὴν ἀνομίαν τοῦ δούλου σου ὅτι ἐμωράνθην σφόδρα

11 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ τὸ πρωί καὶ λόγος κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Γαδ τὸν προφήτην τὸν ὁρῶντα Δαυιδ λέγων

12 πορεύθητι καὶ λάλησον πρὸς Δαυιδ λέγων τάδε λέγει κύριος τρία ἐγώ εἰμι αἴρω ἐπὶ σέ καὶ ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσω σοι

13 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Γαδ πρὸς Δαυιδ καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ γενέσθαι εἰ ἔλθῃ σοι τρία ἔτη λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ σου ἢ τρεῖς μῆνας φεύγειν σε ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου καὶ ἔσονται διώκοντές σε ἢ γενέσθαι τρεῖς ἡμέρας θάνατον ἐν τῇ γῇ σου νῦν οὖν γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντί με ῥῆμα

14 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Γαδ στενά μοι πάντοθεν σφόδρα ἐστίν ἐμπεσοῦμαι δὴ ἐν χειρὶ κυρίου ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα εἰς δὲ χεῖρας ἀνθρώπου οὐ μὴ ἐμπέσω καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Δαυιδ τὸν θάνατον

15 καὶ ἡμέραι θερισμοῦ πυρῶν καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος ἐν Ισραηλ θάνατον ἀπὸ πρωίθεν ἕως ὥρας ἀρίστου καὶ ἤρξατο ἡ θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Δαν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεε ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν

16 καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς Ιερουσαλημ τοῦ διαφθεῖραι αὐτήν καὶ παρεκλήθη κύριος ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ διαφθείροντι ἐν τῷ λαῷ πολὺ νῦν ἄνες τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἦν παρὰ τῷ ἅλῳ Ορνα τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου

17 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἄγγελον τύπτοντα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι ἠδίκησα καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ἐκακοποίησα καὶ οὗτοι τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν γενέσθω δὴ ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου

18 καὶ ἦλθεν Γαδ πρὸς Δαυιδ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἀνάβηθι καὶ στῆσον τῷ κυρίῳ θυσιαστήριον ἐν τῷ ἅλωνι Ορνα τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου

19 καὶ ἀνέβη Δαυιδ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Γαδ καθ᾽ ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ κύριος

20 καὶ διέκυψεν Ορνα καὶ εἶδεν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ παραπορευομένους ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ορνα καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

21 καὶ εἶπεν Ορνα τί ὅτι ἦλθεν ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ κτήσασθαι παρὰ σοῦ τὸν ἅλωνα τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ συσχεθῇ ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ

22 καὶ εἶπεν Ορνα πρὸς Δαυιδ λαβέτω καὶ ἀνενεγκέτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ κυρίῳ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ οἱ βόες εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ καὶ τὰ σκεύη τῶν βοῶν εἰς ξύλα

23 τὰ πάντα ἔδωκεν Ορνα τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν Ορνα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα κύριος ὁ θεός σου εὐλογήσαι σε

24 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ορνα οὐχί ὅτι ἀλλὰ κτώμενος κτήσομαι παρὰ σοῦ ἐν ἀλλάγματι καὶ οὐκ ἀνοίσω τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ μου ὁλοκαύτωμα δωρεάν καὶ ἐκτήσατο Δαυιδ τὸν ἅλωνα καὶ τοὺς βόας ἐν ἀργυρίῳ σίκλων πεντήκοντα

25 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Δαυιδ θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ εἰρηνικάς καὶ προσέθηκεν Σαλωμων ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτῳ ὅτι μικρὸν ἦν ἐν πρώτοις καὶ ἐπήκουσεν κύριος τῇ γῇ καὶ συνεσχέθη ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνωθεν Ισραηλ

1 Et addidit furor Domini irasci contra Israël, commovitque David in eis dicentem: Vade, numera Israël et Judam.

2 Dixitque rex ad Joab principem exercitus sui: Perambula omnes tribus Israël a Dan usque Bersabee, et numerate populum, ut sciam numerum ejus.

3 Dixitque Joab regi: Adaugeat Dominus Deus tuus ad populum tuum, quantus nunc est, iterumque centuplicet in conspectu domini mei regis: sed quid sibi dominus meus rex vult in re hujuscemodi?

4 Obtinuit autem sermo regis verba Joab et principum exercitus: egressusque est Joab et princeps militum a facie regis, ut numerarent populum Israël.

5 Cumque pertransissent Jordanem, venerunt in Aroër ad dexteram urbis, quæ est in valle Gad:

6 et per Jazer transierunt in Galaad, et in terram inferiorem Hodsi, et venerunt in Dan silvestria. Circumeuntesque juxta Sidonem,

7 transierunt prope mœnia Tyri, et omnem terram Hevæi et Chananæi, veneruntque ad meridiem Juda in Bersabee:

8 et lustrata universa terra, affuerunt post novem menses et viginti dies in Jerusalem.

9 Dedit ergo Joab numerum descriptionis populi regi, et inventa sunt de Israël octingenta millia virorum fortium qui educerent gladium, et de Juda quingenta millia pugnatorum.

10 Percussit autem cor David eum, postquam numeratus est populus: et dixit David ad Dominum: Peccavi valde in hoc facto: sed precor, Domine, ut transferas iniquitatem servi tui, quia stulte egi nimis.

11 Surrexit itaque David mane, et sermo Domini factus est ad Gad prophetam et videntem David, dicens:

12 Vade, et loquere ad David: Hæc dicit Dominus: Trium tibi datur optio: elige unum quod volueris ex his, ut faciam tibi.

13 Cumque venisset Gad ad David, nuntiavit ei, dicens: Aut septem annis veniet tibi fames in terra tua: aut tribus mensibus fugies adversarios tuos, et ille te persequentur: aut certe tribus diebus erit pestilentia in terra tua. Nunc ergo delibera, et vide quem respondeam ei qui me misit sermonem.

14 Dixit autem David ad Gad: Coarctor nimis: sed melius est ut incidam in manus Domini (multæ enim misericordiæ ejus sunt) quam in manus hominum.

15 Immisitque Dominus pestilentiam in Israël, de mane usque ad tempus constitutum, et mortui sunt ex populo a Dan usque ad Bersabee septuaginta millia virorum.

16 Cumque extendisset manum suam angelus Domini super Jerusalem ut disperderet eam, misertus est Dominus super afflictione, et ait angelo percutienti populum: Sufficit: nunc contine manum tuam. Erat autem angelus Domini juxta aream Areuna Jebusæi.

17 Dixitque David ad Dominum cum vidisset angelum cædentem populum: Ego sum qui peccavi, ego inique egi: isti qui oves sunt, quid fecerunt? vertatur, obsecro, manus tua contra me, et contra domum patris mei.

18 Venit autem Gad ad David in die illa, et dixit ei: Ascende, et constitue altare Domino in area Areuna Jebusæi.

19 Et ascendit David juxta sermonem Gad, quem præceperat ei Dominus.

20 Conspiciensque Areuna, animadvertit regem et servos ejus transire ad se:

21 et egressus adoravit regem prono vultu in terram, et ait: Quid causæ est ut veniat dominus meus rex ad servum suum? Cui David ait: Ut emam a te aream, et ædificem altare Domino, et cesset interfectio quæ grassatur in populo.

22 Et ait Areuna ad David: Accipiat, et offerat dominus meus rex sicut placet ei: habes boves in holocaustum, et plaustrum, et juga boum in usum lignorum.

23 Omnia dedit Areuna rex regi: dixitque Areuna ad regem: Dominus Deus tuus suscipiat votum tuum.

24 Cui respondens rex, ait: Nequaquam ut vis, sed emam pretio a te, et non offeram Domino Deo meo holocausta gratuita. Emit ergo David aream, et boves, argenti siclis quinquaginta:

25 et ædificavit ibi David altare Domino, et obtulit holocausta et pacifica: et propitiatus est Dominus terræ, et cohibita est plaga ab Israël.
