2 Samuel 24:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 So Gad came to David, and showed him, and said unto him, Wilt thou that [a]seven years famine come upon thee in thy land, or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, they following thee, or that there be three days pestilence in my land? now advise thee, and see, what answer I shall give to him that sent me.
14 ¶ And David said unto Gad, I am in a wonderful strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord, (for his mercies are great) and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel from the morning even unto the time appointed: and there died of the people from [b]Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
