And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 2Sa 24:1-25Zec 3:11Ki 22:20-22Job 2:1Job 2:4-6Rev 12:10Act 5:3Heb 10:24 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. 1Ch 27:23-241Ki 4:251Sa 3:202Ch 30:52Co 12:72Sa 17:112Sa 24:152Sa 24:2-4 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? Deu 1:111Ch 19:131Ki 14:161Sa 2:24Exo 32:21Gen 20:9Isa 26:15Isa 48:19 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 2Sa 24:3-8Act 5:29Dan 3:18Ecc 8:4Exo 1:17
¶ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. 2Sa 24:91Ch 27:23 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. 1Ch 27:24Num 1:47-492Sa 11:15-212Sa 20:9-102Sa 3:27
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 1 1Ch 21:141Ki 15:52Sa 11:272Sa 21:12Sa 21:142Sa 24:1Jos 22:16-26Jos 7:1 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 2Sa 12:131Jn 1:9Jhn 1:291Sa 13:131Sa 26:212Ch 10:92Sa 13:132Sa 24:10
¶ And the LORD spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, 1Sa 9:92Sa 24:111Ch 29:29 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 2 1Ki 13:21-222Sa 12:10-12Jos 24:15Num 20:12Pro 1:29-31Pro 3:12Rev 3:19 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee 3 Pro 19:20 Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 1Ch 21:15-161Ki 17:12Ki 19:352Ki 8:12Sa 21:12Sa 24:13-14Act 12:23Deu 28:15 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. 4 Psa 130:7Php 1:23Heb 10:31Isa 55:7Jhn 12:272Ch 28:92Ki 6:152Ki 7:4
¶ So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 1Ch 27:241Sa 6:192Ki 19:352Sa 24:15Exo 12:30Num 16:46-49Num 25:9 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 5 Gen 6:6Exo 32:14Jer 26:18Mat 23:37-38Mrk 14:411Ki 19:42Ch 3:12Sa 24:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. Num 14:51Ki 21:272Ki 6:17Jon 3:6-8Jos 5:13-14Psa 35:13-14Exo 14:19-20Gen 3:24 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued. Ezk 16:631Ch 21:81Jn 3:161Ki 22:172Sa 12:102Sa 24:12Sa 24:172Sa 7:8
¶ Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2Ch 3:12Sa 24:181Ch 21:111Ch 21:15Act 8:26-40 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD. 2Ki 5:10-14Act 9:6Jhn 2:5 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 6 Jdg 6:11 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 1Sa 25:232Sa 24:18-20 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people. 7 1Ki 21:22Sa 24:21Num 16:48Num 25:8 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. 2Sa 24:22-231Sa 6:14Gen 23:4-61Ki 19:21Isa 28:27-28Jer 32:8 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost. Deu 16:16-17Gen 14:23Gen 23:13Mal 1:12-14Rom 12:17 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 2Sa 24:24-25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. Lev 9:24Jdg 6:211Ki 18:38Pro 15:81Ki 18:241Sa 7:8-92Ch 3:12Ch 7:1 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 1Ch 21:15-16Ezk 21:30Heb 1:14Jer 47:6Jhn 18:11Mat 26:52Psa 103:201Ch 21:12
¶ At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. 1Ch 16:392Ch 1:132Ch 1:31Ki 3:4-15Exo 40:1-38 But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
