2 Samuel 24:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ When David got up the next morning, the Lord’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer: ¹² Go and tell David, This is what the Lord says: I’m offering you three punishments. Choose one of them, and that is what I will do to you.

¹³ So Gad went to David and said to him, “Will three^[a] years of famine come on your land? Or will you run from your enemies for three months while they chase you? Or will there be three days of plague in your land? Decide now what answer I should take back to the one who sent me.”
