2 Samuel 24:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ When David saw the Messenger who had been killing the people, he said to the Lord, “I’ve sinned. I’ve done wrong. What have these sheep done? Please let your punishment be against me and against my father’s family.”

¹⁸ That day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go, set up an altar for the Lord at Araunah the Jebusite’s threshing floor.”

¹⁹ David went as Gad had told him and as the Lord had commanded him.
