大衛數點人口(A)
24 耶和華又向以色列人發怒，就激動大衛，使他們受害，說：“你去數點一下以色列和猶大的人數吧！” 2 王就對約押和跟隨他的軍官說：“你們走遍以色列各支派，從但到別是巴，數點人民，我好知道人民的數目。” 3 約押回答王：“無論人民有多少，願耶和華你的 神再增加一百倍，又願我主我王親眼看見。不過，我主我王為甚麼喜歡這事呢？” 4 但是王的命令約押和眾軍官不敢不從。於是約押和眾軍官從王面前出去，數點以色列的人民。 5 他們過了約旦河，就在谷中那座亞羅珥城的右邊安營。後來他們經過迦得，直到雅謝， 6 然後又到了基列和他停．合示地，再到了但．雅安，並繞過了西頓， 7 來到推羅的堡壘，以及希未人和迦南人所有的城市。最後，他們出到猶大的南端別是巴去了。 8 以後，他們走遍了全地，過了九個月又二十天，就回到耶路撒冷。 9 約押把數點人民的數目向王呈報：在以色列中能拔刀的勇士共有八十萬人；猶大共有五十萬人。
耶和華降罰(B)
10 大衛數點了人民以後，良心一直不安，於是對耶和華說：“我作了這事，犯了大罪。耶和華啊！現在求你除去你僕人的罪孽，因為我作了非常糊塗的事！” 11 大衛早晨起來；耶和華的話臨到迦得先知，就是大衛的先見，說： 12 “你去告訴大衛說：‘耶和華這樣說：我給你三個選擇，你要選擇一個，我好向你施行。’” 13 於是迦得來見大衛，問他說：“你要國中三年（按照《馬索拉文本》，“三年”作“七年”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯；參代上21:12）的饑荒呢？或是要在你敵人面前逃跑，被追趕三個月呢？或是要國中有三天的瘟疫呢？現在你要想想，決定我該用甚麼話回覆那差我來的。” 14 大衛對迦得說：“我非常為難，我們情願落在耶和華的手裡，因為他有豐盛的憐憫。不要讓我落在人的手裡。”
15 於是耶和華降瘟疫在以色列地，從早晨直到所定的時間；從但到別是巴，眾民中死了七萬人。 16 當天使向耶路撒冷伸手，要毀滅耶路撒冷的時候，耶和華就後悔降這災禍，就對那毀滅眾民的天使說：“夠了，現在住手吧！”那時，耶和華的天使在耶布斯人亞勞拿的打禾場那裡。 17 大衛看見那擊殺人民的天使，就對耶和華說：“犯了罪的是我，行了惡的是我，這群羊又作了甚麼呢？求你的手攻擊我和我的父家吧！”
大衛築壇獻祭(C)
18 那一天，迦得來見大衛，對他說：“你上去，在耶布斯人亞勞拿的打禾場那裡，為耶和華立一座祭壇。” 19 大衛就照著迦得的話，正如耶和華所吩咐的，上去了。 20 亞勞拿往下觀看，看見王和他的臣僕正朝著他這邊走過來，就出去迎接，臉伏於地向王叩拜。 21 亞勞拿問：“我主我王為甚麼來到你僕人這裡呢？”大衛回答：“是要向你買這打禾場，好為耶和華築一座祭壇，使民間的瘟疫可以止住。” 22 亞勞拿對大衛說：“我主我王看甚麼好，就拿去獻上吧！看哪，這裡有牛可以作燔祭，打禾的器具和套牛的軛可以當柴燒。 23 王啊，這一切亞勞拿都奉給你。”亞勞拿又對王說：“願耶和華你的 神悅納你！” 24 王回答亞勞拿：“不！我一定要按價錢向你買，我不要用白白得來的作燔祭獻給耶和華我的 神。”於是大衛用五百七十克銀子，買下了那打禾場和牛。 25 於是大衛在那裡為耶和華築了一座壇，獻上燔祭和平安祭。這樣耶和華垂聽了人們為那地的禱告，瘟疫就在以色列人中止住了。

大衛統計人口
24 耶和華又向以色列人發怒，祂促使大衛來對付他們，讓大衛統計以色列和猶大的人口。 2 大衛對統領軍隊的約押說：「你去走遍以色列各支派，從但到別示巴，統計以色列和猶大的人口，讓我知道國民的數目。」 3 約押說：「我主我王，願你的上帝耶和華使國民增加百倍，讓你親眼看到。但我主我王為什麼要統計人口呢？」 4 但大衛不聽約押和其他將領的規勸。他們只好去統計以色列的人數。 5 他們過了約旦河，在谷中亞羅珥城南面安營，又經過迦得前往雅謝。 6 然後，他們到基列、他停·合示地區、但·雅安，繞到西頓， 7 再去泰爾的堡壘及希未人和迦南人的城邑。最後，他們到了猶大南部的別示巴。 8 他們花了九個月零二十天的時間，走遍全國，最後回到耶路撒冷。 9 約押把統計的人數奏告大衛：「以色列有八十萬英勇的刀兵，猶大有五十萬。」
10 大衛統計了人口以後，內心不安，就對耶和華說：「我做這事犯了大罪。耶和華啊，求你赦免僕人的罪，我做了極其愚昧的事。」 11 第二天早上，耶和華對大衛的先見——迦得先知說： 12 「你去告訴大衛，耶和華說，『我有三樣災禍，你可以選擇讓我降哪一樣給你。』」 13 迦得就來見大衛，對他說：「你願意國內有七年饑荒呢？還是被敵人追殺三個月呢？還是國內發生三天瘟疫呢？請你考慮好後告訴我，我好回覆那差我來的。」 14 大衛說：「我實在為難！不過我寧願落在耶和華的手中，也不願落在人的手中，因為耶和華有無限的憐憫。」
15 於是，那天早晨，耶和華在以色列降下瘟疫，瘟疫持續了三天，從但到別示巴共有七萬人死亡。 16 當天使準備伸手毀滅耶路撒冷的時候，耶和華心生憐憫，就對滅命天使說：「夠了，住手吧！」當時，耶和華的天使正站在耶布斯人亞勞拿的麥場上。 17 大衛看見滅命天使，就對耶和華說：「是我犯了罪，做了惡事，這些百姓有什麼過錯呢？願你的手懲罰我和我的家族。」
18 就在那天，迦得來見大衛，對他說：「你要去耶布斯人亞勞拿的麥場，在那裡為耶和華築一座壇。」 19 大衛就照耶和華藉迦得所說的話去了亞勞拿的麥場。 20 亞勞拿看見王及他的臣僕來了，就上前俯伏在地，向王跪拜， 21 說：「我主我王到僕人這裡有什麼事？」大衛說：「我要買你的麥場，好在這裡為耶和華築一座壇，使百姓當中的瘟疫止住。」 22 亞勞拿說：「我主我王喜歡什麼，就拿去獻祭吧。這裡有牛可以作燔祭，還有麥場的工具和牛軛可以作柴。 23 王啊，僕人亞勞拿願意把這一切都獻給你，願你的上帝耶和華悅納你。」 24 王卻說：「不可，我一定要出錢買，我不願意用白白得來之物作為燔祭獻給我的上帝耶和華。」大衛就用六百克銀子買了亞勞拿的麥場和牛。 25 大衛在麥場上為耶和華建了一座壇，獻上燔祭和平安祭，耶和華垂聽了他的禱告，瘟疫就在以色列止住了。

David Enrolls the Fighting Men(A)
24 Again(B) the anger of the Lord burned against Israel,(C) and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of(D) Israel and Judah.”
2 So the king said to Joab(E) and the army commanders[a] with him, “Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba(F) and enroll(G) the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are.”
3 But Joab(H) replied to the king, “May the Lord your God multiply the troops a hundred times over,(I) and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
4 The king’s word, however, overruled Joab and the army commanders; so they left the presence of the king to enroll the fighting men of Israel.
5 After crossing the Jordan, they camped near Aroer,(J) south of the town in the gorge, and then went through Gad and on to Jazer.(K) 6 They went to Gilead and the region of Tahtim Hodshi, and on to Dan Jaan and around toward Sidon.(L) 7 Then they went toward the fortress of Tyre(M) and all the towns of the Hivites(N) and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to Beersheba(O) in the Negev(P) of Judah.
8 After they had gone through the entire land, they came back to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand.(Q)
10 David was conscience-stricken(R) after he had counted the fighting men, and he said to the Lord, “I have sinned(S) greatly in what I have done. Now, Lord, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing.(T)”
11 Before David got up the next morning, the word of the Lord had come to Gad(U) the prophet, David’s seer:(V) 12 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’”
13 So Gad went to David and said to him, “Shall there come on you three[b] years of famine(W) in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague(X) in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me.”
14 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy(Y) is great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”
15 So the Lord sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.(Z) 16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented(AA) concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord(AB) was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the Lord, “I have sinned; I, the shepherd,[c] have done wrong. These are but sheep.(AC) What have they done?(AD) Let your hand fall on me and my family.”(AE)
David Builds an Altar(AF)
18 On that day Gad went to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah(AG) the Jebusite.” 19 So David went up, as the Lord had commanded through Gad. 20 When Araunah looked and saw the king and his officials coming toward him, he went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”
“To buy your threshing floor,” David answered, “so I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped.”(AH)
22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take whatever he wishes and offer it up. Here are oxen(AI) for the burnt offering, and here are threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. 23 Your Majesty, Araunah[d] gives(AJ) all this to the king.” Araunah also said to him, “May the Lord your God accept you.”
24 But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”(AK)
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels[e](AL) of silver for them. 25 David built an altar(AM) to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord answered his prayer(AN) in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.

2 Samuel 24
King James Version
24 And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba.
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee.
24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
