  • 2 Sam 24:1-9 : 1 Again the Lord's anger burned against Israel, and He incited David against them, saying, "Go, count the people of Israel and Judah." 2 So the king said to Joab, the commander of the army who was with him, "Go through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and enroll the people, so that I may know how many there are." 3 But Joab said to the king, "May the Lord your God multiply the people a hundredfold while the eyes of my lord the king still see it. But why does my lord the king want to do this thing?" 4 Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed over Joab and the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel. 5 They crossed the Jordan and camped at Aroer, on the right side of the city in the middle of the valley of Gad, and proceeded to Jazer. 6 Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim Hodshi, and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon. 7 They went to the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went to the Negev of Judah in Beersheba. 8 After traveling through the entire land, they returned to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 9 Joab reported the number of the people to the king: Israel had eight hundred thousand able men who could handle a sword, and Judah had five hundred thousand. 10 David's heart was troubled after he had numbered the people. He said to the Lord, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, Lord, please take away the guilt of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly." 11 The next morning, the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet, David's seer, saying, 12 "Go and tell David, 'This is what the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.'" 13 So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come seven years of famine in your land? Or shall you flee from your enemies for three months while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days of plague in your land? Now think it over and decide how I should reply to the One who sent me." 14 David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for His mercies are many, but do not let me fall into human hands." 15 So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand men died from Dan to Beersheba.
  • 1 Chr 21:1-9 : 1 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the army, "Go and count the people of Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and report back to me so that I may know their number." 3 But Joab replied, "May the LORD multiply His people a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all servants of yours? Why does my lord require this? Why should it bring guilt upon Israel?" 4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab went out and traveled throughout all Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem. 5 Joab presented the results of the census to David: There were in Israel 1,100,000 warriors who drew the sword, and in Judah 470,000 who drew the sword. 6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him. 7 This command was evil in the sight of God, so He struck Israel. 8 Then David said to God, "I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg You, take away the guilt of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly." 9 The LORD then spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10 "Go and tell David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for Me to carry out against you.’" 11 So Gad went to David and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: ‘Take your choice: 12 three years of famine, three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you, or three days of the sword of the LORD—pestilence in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now decide how I should answer the One who sent me." 13 David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for His mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands." 14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell. 15 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. But as the angel was about to destroy, the LORD saw, relented of the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, "Enough! Withdraw your hand now." The angel of the LORD was then standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16 David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown. 17 David said to God, "Was it not I who gave the command to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? LORD my God, let Your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on Your people."
