Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

1 Chronicles 21

1 David, tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number the people. 5 The number of the people being brought, David repenteth of it. 9 David, having three plagues propounded by Gad, chooseth the pestilence. 14 After the death of seventy thousand, David by repentance preventeth the destruction of Jerusalem. David, by Gad's direction, purchaseth Ornan's threshingfloor: where having built an altar, God giveth a sign of his favour by fire, and stayeth the plague. 28 David sacrificeth there, being restrained from Gibeon by fear of the angel.

 21:1 ¶ And Satan 7854 stood up 5975 z8799 against x5921 Israel, 3478 and provoked 5496 z8686 x853 David 1732 to number 4487 z8800 x853 Israel. 3478

 21:2 And David 1732 said 559 z8799 to x413 Joab 3097 and to x413 the rulers 8269 of the people, 5971 Go, y3212 z8798 x1980 number 5608 z8798 x853 Israel 3478 from Beersheba 884 x4480 even to x5704 Dan; 1835 and bring 935 z8685 x853 the number 4557 of them to x413 me, that I may know 3045 z8799 [it].

 21:3 And Joab 3097 answered, 559 z8799 Yahweh 3068 make his people 5971 an hundred 3967 times 6471 so many more 3254 z8686 as they 1992 [be]: but, my adon 113 the king, 4428 [are] they not x3808 all x3605 my adon's 113 servants? 5650 why x4100 then doth my adon 113 require 1245 z8762 this thing? x2063 why x4100 will he be x1961 a cause of trespass 819 to Israel? 3478

 21:4 Nevertheless the king's 4428 word 1697 prevailed 2388 z8804 against x5921 Joab. 3097 Wherefore Joab 3097 departed, 3318 z8799 and went 1980 z8691 throughout all x3605 Israel, 3478 and came 935 z8799 to Jerusalem. 3389

 21:5 ¶ And Joab 3097 gave 5414 z8799 x853 the sum 4557 of the number 4662 of the people 5971 unto x413 David. 1732 And all x3605 [they of] Israel 3478 were x1961 a thousand 505 thousand 505 and an hundred 3967 thousand 505 men 376 that drew 8025 z8802 sword: 2719 and Judah 3063 [was] four 702 hundred 3967 threescore and ten 7657 thousand 505 men 376 that drew 8025 z8802 sword. 2719

 21:6 But Levi 3878 and Benjamin 1144 counted 6485 z8804 he not x3808 among 8432 them: for x3588 the king's 4428 word 1697 was abominable 8581 z8738 to x853 Joab. 3097

 21:7 And Elohim 430 was displeased 3415 5869 z8799 with x5921 this x2088 thing; 1697 therefore he smote 5221 z8686 x853 Israel. 3478

 21:8 And David 1732 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Elohim, 430 I have sinned 2398 z8804 greatly, 3966 because x834 I have done 6213 z8804 x853 this x2088 thing: 1697 but now, x6258 I beseech thee, x4994 do away 5674 z8685 x853 the iniquity 5771 of thy servant; 5650 for x3588 I have done very y3966 foolishly. 5528 z8738 x3966

 21:9 ¶ And Yahweh 3068 spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 Gad, 1410 David's 1732 seer, 2374 saying, 559 z8800

 21:10 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 and tell 1696 z8765 x413 David, 1732 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh, 3068 I x589 offer 5186 z8802 x5921 thee three 7969 [things]: choose 977 z8798 thee one 259 of them, y2007 x4480 x1992 that I may do 6213 z8799 [it] unto thee.

 21:11 So Gad 1410 came 935 z8799 to x413 David, 1732 and said 559 z8799 unto him, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh, 3068 Choose 6901 z8761 thee

 21:12 Either x518 three 7969 years' 8141 famine; 7458 or x518 three 7969 months 2320 to be destroyed 5595 z8737 before 6440 x4480 thy foes, 6862 while that the sword 2719 of thine enemies 341 z8802 overtaketh 5381 z8688 [thee]; or y518 else x518 three 7969 days 3117 the sword 2719 of Yahweh, 3068 even the pestilence, 1698 in the land, 776 and the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 destroying 7843 z8688 throughout all x3605 the coasts 1366 of Israel. 3478 Now x6258 therefore advise 7200 z8798 thyself what x4100 word 1697 I shall bring again 7725 z8686 x853 to him that sent 7971 z8802 me.

 21:13 And David 1732 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Gad, 1410 I am in a great y3966 strait: 6887 z8804 x3966 let me fall 5307 z8799 now x4994 into the hand 3027 of Yahweh; 3068 for x3588 very 3966 great 7227 [are] his mercies: 7356 but let me not x408 fall 5307 z8799 into the hand 3027 of man. 120

 21:14 ¶ So Yahweh 3068 sent 5414 z8799 pestilence 1698 upon Israel: 3478 and there fell 5307 z8799 of Israel 3478 x4480 seventy 7657 thousand 505 men. 376

 21:15 And Elohim 430 sent 7971 z8799 an angel 4397 unto Jerusalem 3389 to destroy 7843 z8687 it: and as he was destroying, 7843 z8687 Yahweh 3068 beheld, 7200 z8804 and he repented y5162 z8735 him x5162 of x5921 the evil, 7451 and said 559 z8799 to the angel 4397 that destroyed, 7843 z8688 It is enough, 7227 stay 7503 z8685 now x6258 thine hand. 3027 And the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 stood 5975 z8802 by x5973 the threshingfloor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite. 2983

 21:16 And David 1732 lifted up 5375 z8799 x853 his eyes, 5869 and saw 7200 z8799 x853 the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 stand 5975 z8802 between x996 the earth 776 and the heaven, 8064 having a drawn 8025 z8803 sword 2719 in his hand 3027 stretched out 5186 z8803 over x5921 Jerusalem. 3389 Then David 1732 and the elders 2205 [of Israel, who were] clothed 3680 z8794 in sackcloth, 8242 fell 5307 z8799 upon x5921 their faces. 6440

 21:17 And David 1732 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Elohim, 430 [Is it] not x3808 I x589 [that] commanded 559 z8804 the people 5971 to be numbered? 4487 z8800 even I x589 it x1931 is that x834 have sinned 2398 z8804 and done evil y7489 z8689 indeed; 7489 z8687 but [as for] these x428 sheep, 6629 what x4100 have they done? 6213 z8804 let thine hand, 3027 I pray thee, x4994 O Yahweh 3068 my Elohim, 430 be x1961 on me, and on my father's 1 house; 1004 but not x3808 on thy people, 5971 that they should be plagued. 4046

 21:18 ¶ Then the angel 4397 of Yahweh 3068 commanded 559 z8804 x413 Gad 1410 to say 559 z8800 to David, 1732 that x3588 David 1732 should go up, 5927 z8799 and set up 6965 z8687 an altar 4196 unto Yahweh 3068 in the threshingfloor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite. 2983

 21:19 And David 1732 went up 5927 z8799 at the saying 1697 of Gad, 1410 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 in the name 8034 of Yahweh. 3068

 21:20 And Ornan 771 turned back, 7725 z8799 and saw 7200 z8799 x853 the angel; 4397 and his four 702 sons 1121 with x5973 him hid y2244 z8693 themselves. x2244 Now Ornan 771 was threshing 1758 z8804 wheat. 2406

 21:21 And as David 1732 came 935 z8799 to x5704 Ornan, 771 Ornan 771 looked 5027 z8686 and saw 7200 z8799 x853 David, 1732 and went out 3318 z8799 of x4480 the threshingfloor, 1637 and bowed y7812 z8691 himself x7812 to David 1732 with [his] face 639 to the ground. 776

 21:22 Then David 1732 said 559 z8799 to x413 Ornan, 771 Grant 5414 z8798 me the place 4725 of [this] threshingfloor, 1637 that I may build 1129 z8799 an altar 4196 therein unto Yahweh: 3068 thou shalt grant 5414 z8798 it me for the full 4392 price: 3701 that the plague 4046 may be stayed 6113 z8735 from x4480 x5921 the people. 5971

 21:23 And Ornan 771 said 559 z8799 unto x413 David, 1732 Take 3947 z8798 [it] to thee, and let my adon 113 the king 4428 do 6213 z8799 [that which is] good 2896 in his eyes: 5869 lo, 7200 z8798 I give 5414 z8804 [thee] the oxen 1241 [also] for burnt offerings, 5930 and the threshing instruments 4173 for wood, 6086 and the wheat 2406 for the meat offering; 4503 I give 5414 z8804 it all. x3605

 21:24 And king 4428 David 1732 said 559 z8799 to Ornan, 771 Nay; x3808 but x3588 I will verily y7069 z8800 buy 7069 z8799 it for the full 4392 price: 3701 for x3588 I will not x3808 take 5375 z8799 [that] which x834 [is] thine for Yahweh, 3068 nor offer 5927 z8687 burnt offerings 5930 without cost. 2600

 21:25 So David 1732 gave 5414 z8799 to Ornan 771 for the place 4725 six 8337 hundred 3967 shekels 8255 of gold 2091 by weight. 4948

 21:26 And David 1732 built 1129 z8799 there x8033 an altar 4196 unto Yahweh, 3068 and offered 5927 z8686 burnt offerings 5930 and peace offerings, 8002 and called 7121 z8799 upon x413 Yahweh; 3068 and he answered 6030 z8799 him from x4480 heaven 8064 by fire 784 upon x5921 the altar 4196 of burnt offering. 5930

 21:27 And Yahweh 3068 commanded 559 z8799 the angel; 4397 and he put up y7725 z0 his sword y2719 again 7725 z8686 x2719 into x413 the sheath 5084 thereof.

 21:28 ¶ At that x1931 time 6256 when David 1732 saw 7200 z8800 that x3588 Yahweh 3068 had answered 6030 z8804 him in the threshingfloor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite, 2983 then he sacrificed 2076 z8799 there. x8033

 21:29 For the tabernacle 4908 of Yahweh, 3068 which x834 Moses 4872 made 6213 z8804 in the wilderness, 4057 and the altar 4196 of the burnt offering, 5930 [were] at that x1931 season 6256 in the high place 1116 at Gibeon. 1391

 21:30 But David 1732 could 3201 z8804 not x3808 go y3212 z8800 x1980 before 6440 it to enquire 1875 z8800 of Elohim: 430 for x3588 he was afraid 1204 z8738 because 6440 x4480 of the sword 2719 of the angel 4397 of Yahweh. 3068
