Chapter 24
And
again
the
anger
of
the
Lord
was
kindled
against
Israel,
and
he
moved
David
against
them
to
say,
Go,
number
Israel
and
Judah.
2
For
the
king
said
to
Joab
the
captain
of
the
host,
which
was
with
him,
Go
now
through
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
from
Dan
even
to
Beer-sheba,
and
number
ye
the
people,
that
I
may
know
the
number
of
the
people.
3
And
Joab
said
unto
the
king,
Now
the
Lord
thy
God
add
unto
the
people,
how
many
soever
they
be,
an
hundredfold,
and
that
the
eyes
of
my
lord
the
king
may
see
it:
but
why
doth
my
lord
the
king
delight
in
this
thing?
4
Notwithstanding
the
king’s
word
prevailed
against
Joab,
and
against
the
captains
of
the
host.
And
Joab
and
the
captains
of
the
host
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
king,
to
number
the
people
of
Israel.
5
And
they
passed
over
Jordan,
and
pitched
in
Aroer,
on
the
right
side
of
the
city
that
lieth
in
the
midst
of
the
river
of
Gad,
and
toward
Jazer:
6
Then
they
came
to
Gilead,
and
to
the
land
of
Tahtim-hodshi;
and
they
came
to
Dan-jaan,
and
about
to
Zidon,
7
And
came
to
the
strong
hold
of
Tyre,
and
to
all
the
cities
of
the
Hivites,
and
of
the
Canaanites:
and
they
went
out
to
the
south
of
Judah,
even
to
Beer-sheba.
8
So
when
they
had
gone
through
all
the
land,
they
came
to
Jerusalem
at
the
end
of
nine
months
and
twenty
days.
9
And
Joab
gave
up
the
sum
of
the
number
of
the
people
unto
the
king:
and
there
were
in
Israel
eight
hundred
thousand
valiant
men
that
drew
the
sword;
and
the
men
of
Judah
were
five
hundred
thousand
men.
10
And
David’s
heart
smote
him
after
that
he
had
numbered
the
people.
And
David
said
unto
the
Lord,
I
have
sinned
greatly
in
that
I
have
done:
and
now,
I
beseech
thee,
O
Lord,
take
away
the
iniquity
of
thy
servant;
for
I
have
done
very
foolishly.
11
For
when
David
was
up
in
the
morning,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
unto
the
prophet
Gad,
David’s
seer,
saying,
12
Go
and
say
unto
David,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
I
offer
thee
three
things;
choose
thee
one
of
them,
that
I
may
do
it
unto
thee.
13
So
Gad
came
to
David,
and
told
him,
and
said
unto
him,
Shall
seven
years
of
famine
come
unto
thee
in
thy
land?
or
wilt
thou
flee
three
months
before
thine
enemies,
while
they
pursue
thee?
or
that
there
be
three
days’
pestilence
in
thy
land?
now
advise,
and
see
what
answer
I
shall
return
to
him
that
sent
me.
14
And
David
said
unto
Gad,
I
am
in
a
great
strait:
let
us
fall
now
into
the
hand
of
the
Lord;
for
his
mercies
are
great:
and
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man.
15
So
the
Lord
sent
a
pestilence
upon
Israel
from
the
morning
even
to
the
time
appointed:
and
there
died
of
the
people
from
Dan
even
to
Beer-sheba
seventy
thousand
men.
16
And
when
the
angel
stretched
out
his
hand
upon
Jerusalem
to
destroy
it,
the
Lord
repented
him
of
the
evil,
and
said
to
the
angel
that
destroyed
the
people,
It
is
enough:
stay
now
thine
hand.
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
was
by
the
threshingplace
of
Araunah
the
Jebusite.
17
And
David
spake
unto
the
Lord
when
he
saw
the
angel
that
smote
the
people,
and
said,
Lo,
I
have
sinned,
and
I
have
done
wickedly:
but
these
sheep,
what
have
they
done?
let
thine
hand,
I
pray
thee,
be
against
me,
and
against
my
father’s
house.
18
And
Gad
came
that
day
to
David,
and
said
unto
him,
Go
up,
rear
an
altar
unto
the
Lord
in
the
threshingfloor
of
Araunah
the
Jebusite.
19
And
David,
according
to
the
saying
of
Gad,
went
up
as
the
Lord
commanded.
20
And
Araunah
looked,
and
saw
the
king
and
his
servants
coming
on
toward
him:
and
Araunah
went
out,
and
bowed
himself
before
the
king
on
his
face
upon
the
ground.
21
And
Araunah
said,
Wherefore
is
my
lord
the
king
come
to
his
servant?
And
David
said,
To
buy
the
threshingfloor
of
thee,
to
build
an
altar
unto
the
Lord,
that
the
plague
may
be
stayed
from
the
people.
22
And
Araunah
said
unto
David,
Let
my
lord
the
king
take
and
offer
up
what
seemeth
good
unto
him:
behold,
here
be
oxen
for
burnt
sacrifice,
and
threshing
instruments
and
other
instruments
of
the
oxen
for
wood.
23
All
these
things
did
Araunah,
as
a
king,
give
unto
the
king.
And
Araunah
said
unto
the
king,
The
Lord
thy
God
accept
thee.
24
And
the
king
said
unto
Araunah,
Nay;
but
I
will
surely
buy
it
of
thee
at
a
price:
neither
will
I
offer
burnt
offerings
unto
the
Lord
my
God
of
that
which
doth
cost
me
nothing.
So
David
bought
the
threshingfloor
and
the
oxen
for
fifty
shekels
of
silver.
25
And
David
built
there
an
altar
unto
the
Lord,
and
offered
burnt
offerings
and
peace
offerings.
So
the
Lord
was
intreated
for
the
land,
and
the
plague
was
stayed
from
Israel.
