2 Samuel 24:11-13
Good News Translation
11-12 The Lord said to Gad, David's prophet, “Go and tell David that I am giving him three choices. I will do whichever he chooses.” The next morning, after David had gotten up, 13 Gad went to him, told him what the Lord had said, and asked, “Which is it to be? Three[a] years of famine in your land or three months of running away from your enemies or three days of an epidemic in your land? Now think it over, and tell me what answer to take back to the Lord.”

2 Samuel 24:11-13
New International Version
11 Before David got up the next morning, the word of the Lord had come to Gad(A) the prophet, David’s seer:(B) 12 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’”
13 So Gad went to David and said to him, “Shall there come on you three[a] years of famine(C) in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague(D) in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me.”
