Verse 17

And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto God{H430}, Is it not I that commanded{H559}{(H8804)} the people{H5971} to be numbered{H4487}{(H8800)}? even I it is that have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} and done evil{H7489}{(H8689)} indeed{H7489}{(H8687)}; but as for these sheep{H6629}, what have they done{H6213}{(H8804)}? let thine hand{H3027}, I pray thee, O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, be on me, and on my father's{H1} house{H1004}; but not on thy people{H5971}, that they should be plagued{H4046}.
