| 1 | Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. | 2Sa 24:1 1Ki 22:20-22 Jb 1:6-12 Jb 2:1 Jb 2:4-6 Zc 3:1 Mt 4:3 Lk 22:31 Jn 13:2 Ac 5:3 Jm 1:13 Rev 12:10 |
| 2 | David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them. | 2Sa 24:2-4 |
| 3 | Joab said, Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, aren`t they all my lord`s servants? why does my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel? | 1Ch 19:13 Ps 115:14 Pr 14:28 Isa 26:15 Isa 48:19 |
| 4 | Nevertheless the king`s word prevailed against Joab. Why Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. | Ec 8:4 |
| 5 | Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword. | 1Ch 27:23 2Sa 24:9 |
| 6 | But he didn`t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king`s word was abominable to Joab. | Nm 1:47-49 |
| 7 | God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel. | 2Sa 11:27 1Ki 15:5 |
| 8 | David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly. | 2Sa 12:13 2Sa 24:10 Ps 25:11 Ps 32:5 Jer 3:13 Lk 15:18 Lk 15:19 1Jn 1:9 |
| 9 | Yahweh spoke to Gad, David`s seer, saying, | 1Ch 29:29 1Sa 9:9 2Sa 24:11 |
| 10 | Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says Yahweh, I offer you three things: choose you one of them, that I may do it to you. | Jsh 24:15 Pr 1:29-31 |
| 11 | So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Take which you will: | Pr 19:20 |
| 12 | either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me. | Lv 26:26-29 2Sa 21:1 2Sa 24:13 1Ki 17:1 2Ki 8:1 Lam 4:9 Lk 4:25 |
| 13 | David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yahweh; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man. | 2Ki 6:15 2Ki 7:4 Es 4:11 Es 4:16 Jn 12:27 Php 1:23 |
| 14 | So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. | Nm 16:46-49 2Sa 24:15 |
| 15 | God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay your hand. The angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. | 2Sa 24:16 Jer 7:12 Jer 26:9 Jer 26:18 Mt 23:37 Mt 23:38 |
| 16 | David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. | Gn 3:24 Ex 14:19 Ex 14:20 Nm 22:31 Jsh 5:13 Jsh 5:14 2Ki 6:17 |
| 17 | David said to God, Isn`t it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father`s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued. | 1Ch 21:8 2Sa 24:17 Ps 51:4 Ezk 16:63 |
| 18 | Then the angel of Yahweh commanded Gad to tell David, that David should go up, and raise an altar to Yahweh in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. | 1Ch 21:11 Ac 8:26-40 |
| 19 | David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Yahweh. | 2Ki 5:10-14 Jn 2:5 Ac 9:6 |
| 20 | Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. | Jg 6:11 |
| 21 | As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. | 1Sa 25:23 2Sa 24:18-20 |
| 22 | Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Yahweh: for the full price shall you give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people. | 1Ki 21:2 |
| 23 | Ornan said to David, Take it to you, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: behold, I give [you] the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all. | Gn 23:4-6 2Sa 24:22 2Sa 24:23 Jer 32:8 |
| 24 | King David said to Ornan, No; but I will most assuredly buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is your for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost. | Gn 14:23 Gn 23:13 Dt 16:16 Dt 16:17 Mal 1:12-14 Ro 12:17 |
| 25 | So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. | 2Sa 24:24 2Sa 24:25 |
| 26 | David built there an altar to Yahweh, and offered burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering. | Ex 20:24 Ex 20:25 Ex 24:4 Ex 24:5 |
| 27 | Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath of it. | 1Ch 21:15 1Ch 21:16 2Sa 24:16 Ps 103:20 Heb 1:14 |
| 28 | At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. |
| 29 | For the tent of Yahweh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. | Ex 40:1-38 |
| 30 | But David couldn`t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yahweh. | 1Ch 21:16 1Ch 13:12 Dt 10:12 2Sa 6:9 Jb 13:21 Jb 21:6 Jb 23:15 Ps 90:11 Ps 119:120 Jer 5:22 Jer 10:7 Heb 12:28 Heb 12:29 Rev 1:17 Rev 15:4 |
