1 Chronicles 21:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ David said to God, “·I am [^LAm not I…?] the one who sinned and did wrong. I gave the order for the ·people to be counted [census]. ·These people only followed me like sheep. They did nothing wrong. [^LThese sheep—what have they done?] Lord my God, please ·punish [^Llet your hand fall on] me and my ·family [^Lfather’s house], but ·stop the terrible disease that is killing [lift the plague from] your people.”

¹⁸ Then the angel of the Lord ·told [ordered; commanded] Gad to tell David that he should build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of ·Araunah [or Ornan; or Aravna; 2 Sam. 24:16] the Jebusite. ¹⁹ So David ·did what Gad told him to do, [went up as Gad had spoken/instructed/commanded] in the name of the Lord.
