Chapter 21
And
Satan
stoode
vp
against
Israel,
and
prouoked
Dauid
to
number
Israel.
2
And
Dauid
saide
to
Ioab,
and
to
the
rulers
of
the
people,
Goe,
number
Israel
from
Beer-sheba
eueu
to
Dan:
and
bring
the
number
of
them
to
me,
that
I
may
know
it.
3
And
Ioab
answered,
The
Lord
make
his
people
an
hundred
times
so
many
moe
as
they
bee:
but,
my
lord
the
king,
are
they
not
al
my
lords
seruants?
why
then
doeth
my
lord
require
this
thing?
why
will
hee
bee
a
cause
of
trespasse
to
Israel?
4
Neuerthelesse,
the
kings
word
preuailed
against
Ioab:
wherefore
Ioab
departed,
and
went
throughout
all
Israel,
and
came
to
Ierusalem.
5
And
Ioab
gaue
the
summe
of
the
number
of
the
people
vnto
Dauid:
and
all
they
of
Israel
were
a
thousand
thousand,
and
an
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
sword:
and
Iudah
was
foure
hundred
threescore
and
ten
thousand
men,
that
drew
sword.
6
But
Leui
and
Beniamin
counted
hee
not
among
them:
for
the
kings
word
was
abominable
to
Ioab.
7
And
God
was
displeased
with
this
thing,
therefore
he
smote
Israel.
8
And
Dauid
saide
vnto
God,
I
haue
sinned
greatly,
because
I
haue
done
this
thing:
but
uow,
I
beseech
thee,
doe
away
the
iniquitie
of
thy
seruant,
for
I
haue
done
very
foolishly.
9
And
the
Lord
spake
vnto
Gad,
Dauids
Seer,
saying,
10
Goe
and
tell
Dauid,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
I
offer
thee
three
things,
choose
thee
one
of
them,
that
I
may
doe
it
vnto
thee.
11
So
Gad
came
to
Dauid,
and
said
vnto
him,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Choose
thee
12
Either
three
yeeres
famine,
or
three
moneths
to
bee
destroyed
before
thy
foes
(while
that
the
sword
of
thine
enemies
ouertaketh
thee)
or
else
three
dayes
the
sword
of
the
Lord,
euen
the
pestilence
in
the
land,
and
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
destroying
throughout
all
the
coasts
of
Israel.
Now
therefore
aduise
thy
selfe,
what
word
I
shall
bring
againe
to
him
that
sent
me.
13
And
Dauid
said
vnto
Gad,
I
am
in
a
great
strait.
Let
mee
fall
now
into
the
hand
of
the
Lord
(for
very
great
are
his
mercies,)
but
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man.
14
So
the
Lord
sent
pestilence
vpon
Israel:
and
there
fell
of
Israel,
seuentie
thousand
men.
15
And
God
sent
an
Angel
vnto
Ierusalem
to
destroy
it:
and
as
he
was
destroying,
the
Lord
beheld,
and
he
repented
him
of
the
euill,
and
said
to
the
Angel
that
destroyed,
It
is
ynough,
stay
now
thine
hand.
And
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
stood
by
the
threshing
floore
of
Ornan
the
Iebusite.
16
And
Dauid
lift
vp
his
eyes,
and
saw
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
stand
betweene
the
earth
and
the
heauen,
hauing
a
drawen
sword
in
his
hand
stretched
out
ouer
Ierusalem.
Then
Dauid
and
the
Elders
of
Israel,
who
were
clothed
in
sackecloth,
fell
vpon
their
faces.
17
And
Dauid
said
vnto
God,
Is
it
not
I
that
commanded
the
people
to
be
numbred?
euen
I
it
is
that
haue
sinned,
and
done
euill
indeed,
but
as
for
these
sheepe,
what
haue
they
done?
Let
thine
hand,
I
pray
thee,
O
Lord
my
God,
be
on
me,
and
on
my
fathers
house,
but
not
on
thy
people,
that
they
should
bee
plagued.
18
Then
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
commanded
Gad
to
say
to
Dauid,
that
Dauid
should
goe
vp
and
set
vp
an
Altar
vnto
the
Lord,
in
the
threshing
floore
of
Ornan
the
Iebusite.
19
And
Dauid
went
vp
at
the
saying
of
Gad,
which
he
spake
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord.
20
And
Ornan
turned
backe
and
saw
the
Angel,
and
his
foure
sonnes
with
him,
hid
themselues.
Now
Ornan
was
threshing
wheat.
21
And
as
Dauid
came
to
Ornan,
Ornan
looked
and
saw
Dauid,
and
went
out
of
the
threshing
floore,
and
bowed
himselfe
to
Dauid
with
his
face
to
the
ground.
22
Then
Dauid
saide
to
Ornan,
Grant
mee
the
place
of
this
threshing
floore,
that
I
may
build
an
Altar
therein
vnto
the
Lord:
thou
shalt
grant
it
mee
for
the
full
price,
that
the
plague
may
be
stayed
from
the
people.
23
And
Ornan
saide
vnto
Dauid,
Take
it
to
thee,
and
let
my
lord
the
king
do
that
which
is
good
in
his
eyes.
Loe,
I
giue
thee
the
oxen
also
for
burnt
offerings,
and
the
threshing
instruments
for
wood,
and
the
wheat
for
the
meate
offering,
I
giue
it
all.
24
And
king
Dauid
said
to
Ornan;
Nay,
but
I
wil
verily
buy
it
for
the
full
price:
for
I
will
not
take
that
which
is
thine
for
the
Lord,
nor
offer
burnt
offerings
without
cost.
25
So
Dauid
gaue
to
Ornan
for
the
place,
sixe
hundred
shekels
of
gold
by
weight.
26
And
Dauid
built
there
an
Altar
vnto
the
Lord,
and
offered
burnt
offerings,
and
peace
offerings,
and
called
vpon
the
Lord,
and
hee
answered
him
from
heauen
by
fire
vpon
the
Altar
of
burnt
offering.
27
And
the
Lord
commaunded
the
Angel,
and
hee
put
vp
his
sword
againe
into
the
sheath
thereof.
28
At
that
time,
when
Dauid
saw
that
the
Lord
had
answered
him
in
the
threshing
floore
of
Ornan
the
Iebusite,
then
he
sacrificed
there.
29
For
the
tabernacle
of
the
Lord
which
Moses
made
in
the
wildernesse,
and
the
Altar
of
the
burnt
offering
were
at
that
season,
in
the
high
place
at
Gibeon:
30
But
Dauid
could
not
goe
before
it
to
euquire
of
God;
for
he
was
afraid,
because
of
the
sword
of
the
Angel
of
the
Lord.
