1 Chronicles 21:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² either three years’ famine or three months to be destroyed before thy foes while the sword of thine enemies overtakes thee or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

¹³ Then David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait; let me fall now into the hand of the LORD, for very great are his mercies, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.

¹⁴ So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
