CHAP. XXI.
1 Dauid tempted by Satan, forceth Ioab to number the people. 5 The number of the people being brought, Dauid repenteth of it. 9 Dauid hauing three plagues propounded by Gad, chuseth the pestilence. 14 After the death of 70000, Dauid by repentance preuenteth the destruction of Ierusalem. 18 Dauid by Gads direction, purchaseth Ornans threshing floore, where hauing built an Altar, God giueth a signe of his fauour by fire, and stayeth the plague. 28 Dauid sacrificeth there, being restrained from Gibeon by feare of the Angel.
1 And Satan stoode vp against Israel, and prouoked Dauid to number Israel.1
6 But Leui and Beniamin counted hee not among them: for the kings word was abominable to Ioab.
7 And God was displeased with this thing, therefore he smote Israel.7
8 And Dauid saide vnto God, I haue sinned greatly, because I haue done this thing: but uow, I beseech thee, doe away the iniquitie of thy seruant, for I haue done very foolishly.8
9 ¶ And the Lord spake vnto Gad, Dauids Seer, saying,
10 Goe and tell Dauid, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things, choose thee one of them, that I may doe it vnto thee.10
11 So Gad came to Dauid, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee11
13 And Dauid said vnto Gad, I am in a great strait. Let mee fall now into the hand of the Lord (for very great are his mercies,) but let me not fall into the hand of man.13
14 ¶ So the Lord sent pestilence vpon Israel: and there fell of Israel, seuentie thousand men.
15 And God sent an Angel vnto Ierusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repented him of the euill, and said to the Angel that destroyed, It is ynough, stay now thine hand. And the Angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.15
18 ¶ Then the Angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to Dauid, that Dauid should goe vp and set vp an Altar vnto the Lord, in the threshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.18
19 And Dauid went vp at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the Name of the Lord.
20 And Ornan turned backe and saw the Angel, and his foure sonnes with him, hid themselues. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.20
22 Then Dauid saide to Ornan, Grant mee the place of this threshing floore, that I may build an Altar therein vnto the Lord: thou shalt grant it mee for the full price, that the plague may be stayed from the people.22
25 So Dauid gaue to Ornan for the place, sixe hundred shekels of gold by weight.25
27 And the Lord commaunded the Angel, and hee put vp his sword againe into the sheath thereof.
29 For the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wildernesse, and the Altar of the burnt offering were at that season, in the high place at Gibeon:29
