Legacy Standard Bible

¹³ Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me now fall into the hand of Yahweh, ^(A)for His compassions are exceedingly abundant. But do not let me fall into the hand of man.”

^14 (B)So Yahweh ^[a]sent a pestilence against Israel; and 70,000 men of Israel fell. ¹⁵ And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, Yahweh saw and ^[b](C)relented concerning the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough! Now relax your hand.” And the angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of ^[c]Ornan the Jebusite.
