2 Samuel 24:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Then David said to Gad, “I am greatly distressed. Please let us fall into the hand of Yahweh, because he is great in his compassion; but into the hand of man don’t let me fall.” ¹⁵ Then Yahweh sent a plague into Israel from the morning until the agreed time,^[a] and from the people from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand men died.

¹⁶ When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, Yahweh regretted about the evil, and he said to the angel who brought destruction among the people, “Enough, now relax your hand.” Now the angel of Yahweh was at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
