Contextual Overview
7 And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, - therefore smote he Israel. 8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing, - but, now, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have shown myself very foolish. 9 Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying: 10 Go - and thou shalt speak unto David, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, - choose thee one from among them, that I may do it unto thee. 11 So Gad came unto David, - and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh, 12 Choose thee: - Whether, for three years, there be famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, - Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto him that sent me. 13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait, - Oh let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for abounding are his compassions, exceedingly, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall. 14 So Yahweh laid pestilence, upon Israel, - and there fell, of Israel, seventy thousand men. 15 And God sent a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16 And, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, upon their faces.
