David’s Punishment

¹¹ When David got up in the morning, the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad,^(A) David’s seer:^{(B) 12} ‘Go and say to David, “This is what the Lord says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them, and I will do it to you.” ’

¹³ So Gad went to David, told him the choices, and asked him, ‘Do you want three^[a] years of famine to come on your land, to flee from your foes for three months while they pursue you, or to have a plague in your land for three days? Now, consider carefully^[b] what answer I should take back to the one who sent me.’
