1 Chronicles 21:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² ‘either three years of famine or three months to be destroyed before your adversaries with the sword of your enemies taking you, or else the sword of the LORD and pestilence for three days in the land, so that the Angel of the LORD may destroy throughout all the territories of Israel.’ Now, therefore, consider what word I shall bring back to Him who sent me.”

¹³ And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me now fall into the hand of the LORD. For His mercies are exceedingly great. And let me not fall into the hand of man.”

¹⁴ So, the LORD sent a pestilence in Israel. And seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
