2 Samuel 24:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 When David got up in the morning, the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet, David’s seer. The Lord said, 12 “Go tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says. I am laying out three choices before you. Choose one of them for yourself, and I will carry it out against you.’”
13 So Gad went to David and told him about this. He said, “Shall seven[a] years of famine in your land come upon you, or three months of fleeing with your enemies pursuing you, or three days of plague[b] in your land? Now consider this and decide what answer I should return to the one who sent me.”
