2 Samuel 24:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ When David saw the angel that ·killed [^Lwas striking down/ravaging] the people, he said to the Lord, “I am the one who sinned and did wrong. ·These people only followed me like sheep. They did nothing wrong [^LWhat have these sheep done?]. Please ·punish me and my family [^Llet your hand fall on me and my father’s house].”

¹⁸ That day Gad came to David and said, “Go and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” ¹⁹ So David did what Gad told him to do, just as the Lord commanded.
