« 1 Chron 201 Chron 211 Chron 22 »

9 And Yahweh spoke to ^aGad, David’s ^bseer, saying, 10 “Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I ¹am offering you three things; choose for yourself one of them, and I will do that to you.”’” 11 So Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Take for yourself 12 ^aeither three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your adversaries, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ So now, see what word I should return to Him who sent me.” 13 Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me now fall into the hand of Yahweh, ^afor His compassions are exceedingly abundant. But do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
