2 Samuel 24:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father's house.

¹⁸ And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.

¹⁹ And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
