1 Chronicles 21:13-15

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹³ Then David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait; let me fall now into the hand of the LORD, for very great are his mercies, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.

¹⁴ So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

¹⁵ And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented of that evil and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan, the Jebusite.
