New King James Version
12 (A)either [a]three years of famine, or three months to be defeated by your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of the Lord—the plague in the land, with the [b]angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now consider what answer I should take back to Him who sent me.”
13 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for His (B)mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
14 So the Lord sent a (C)plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell. 15 And God sent [c]an (D)angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As [d]he was destroying, the Lord looked and (E)relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, “It is enough; now restrain [e]your hand.” And the angel of the Lord stood by the (F)threshing floor of [f]Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Then David lifted his eyes and (G)saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. 17 And David said to God, “Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these (H)sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O Lord my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.”

The Judgment on David’s Sin(A)
10 And (B)David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So (C)David said to the Lord, (D)“I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have (E)done very foolishly.”
11 Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the Lord came to the prophet (F)Gad, David’s (G)seer, saying, 12 “Go and tell David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.” ’ ” 13 So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, “Shall (H)seven[a] years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me.”
14 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, (I)for His mercies are great; but (J)do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
15 So (K)the Lord sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died. 16 (L)And when the [b]angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, (M)the Lord relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “It is enough; now restrain your hand.” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of [c]Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Surely (N)I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father’s house.”
