So Joab and the commanders of the army went out from the presence of the king, to register the people of Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And they crossed the Jordan and camped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and toward Jazer. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and they came to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>and came to the fortress of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites, and they went out to the south of Judah, <i>to</i> Beersheba. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>So when they had gone about through the whole land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And Joab gave the number of the registration of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men. <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Now David’s heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD, please take away the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>When David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>“Go and speak to David, ‘Thus the LORD says, “I am offering you three things; choose for yourself one of them, which I may do to you.”’” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the LORD for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.” <p><b><i>Pestilence Sent</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time; and seventy thousand men of the people from Dan to Beersheba died. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the calamity, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough! Now relax your hand!” And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking down the people, and said, “Behold, it is I who have sinned, and it is I who have done wrong; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let Thy hand be against me and against my father’s house.” <p><b><i>David Builds an Altar</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>So Gad came to David that day and said to him, “Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And David went up according to the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>And Araunah looked down and saw the king and his servants crossing over toward him; and Araunah went out and bowed his face to the ground before the king. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” And David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be held back from the people.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what is good in his sight. Look, the oxen for the burnt offering, the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>“Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>However, the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy <i>it</i> from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_samuel/24-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Thus the LORD was moved by entreaty for the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
