1 Chronicles 21:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me now fall into the hand of the LORD. For His mercies are exceedingly great. And let me not fall into the hand of man.”

¹⁴ So, the LORD sent a pestilence in Israel. And seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

¹⁵ And God sent the Angel into Jerusalem, to destroy it. And as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and relented of the misery, and said to the Angel that destroyed, “It is enough now. Let your hand cease.” Then the Angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
