|
|
I Par 21:10

Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
|
|
I Par 21:11
|
And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
|
|
I Par 21:13

|
|
I Par 21:16

|
|
I Par 21:17
|
And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
|
|
I Par 21:18
|
And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
|
|
I Par 21:19
|
and David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.
|
|
I Par 21:21
|
And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.
|
|
I Par 21:22
|
And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
|
|
I Par 21:23
|
And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
|
|
I Par 21:24
|
And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
|
|
I Par 21:25
|
So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.
|
|
I Par 21:28
|
And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
|
|
I Par 21:30
|
And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.
|
|
I Par 22:1
|
Then David said: This is the house of God, and this is the altar for the holocaust of Israel.
|
|
I Par 22:3
