Versliste
And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971, GoH3212, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835; and bringH935 the numberH4557 of them to me, that I may knowH3045 it.
And JoabH3097 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord'sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478?
Nevertheless the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097. Wherefore JoabH3097 departedH3318, and wentH1980 throughout all IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto DavidH1732. And all they of IsraelH3478 were a thousandH505 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: and JudahH3063 was fourH702 hundredH3967 threescore and tenH7657 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
But LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 countedH6485 he not amongH8432 them: for the king'sH4428 wordH1697 was abominableH8581 to JoabH3097.
And GodH430 was displeasedH3415+H5869 with this thingH1697; therefore he smoteH5221 IsraelH3478. {And…: Heb. And it was evil in the eyes of the LORD concerning this thing}
And againH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496 DavidH1732 against them to sayH559, GoH3212, numberH4487 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
For the kingH4428 saidH559 to JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH2428, which was with him, Go now throughH7751 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, and numberH6485 ye the peopleH5971, that I may knowH3045 the numberH4557 of the peopleH5971. {Go: or, Compass}
And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Now the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 addH3254 unto the peopleH5971, how many soeverH1992 they be, an hundredfoldH3967+H6471, and that the eyesH5869 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 may seeH7200 it: but why doth my lordH113 the kingH4428 delightH2654 in this thingH1697?
Notwithstanding the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097, and against the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428. And JoabH3097 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, to numberH6485 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478.
And they passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and pitchedH2583 in AroerH6177, on the right sideH3225 of the cityH5892 that lieth in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158 of GadH1410, and toward JazerH3270: {river: or, valley}
Then they cameH935 to GileadH1568, and to the landH776 of TahtimhodshiH8483; and they cameH935 to DanjaanH1842, and aboutH5439 to ZidonH6721, {land of Tahtimhodshi: or, nether land newly inhabited}
And cameH935 to the strong holdH4013 of TyreH6865, and to all the citiesH5892 of the HivitesH2340, and of the CanaanitesH3669: and they went outH3318 to the southH5045 of JudahH3063, even to BeershebaH884.
So when they had goneH7751 through all the landH776, they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 at the endH7097 of nineH8672 monthsH2320 and twentyH6242 daysH3117.
And JoabH3097 gave upH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto the kingH4428: and there were in IsraelH3478 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 valiantH2428 menH376+H381 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; and the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376.
And David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him afterH310 that he had numberedH5608 the peopleH5971. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966 in that I have doneH6213: and now, I beseech thee, O LORDH3068, take awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
For when DavidH1732 was upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and sayH559 unto DavidH1732, Thus saithH1696 the LORDH3068, I offerH5190 thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977 thee oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto theeH6213.
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and toldH5046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Shall sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 comeH935 unto thee in thy landH776? or wilt thou fleeH5127 threeH7969 monthsH2320 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH6862, while they pursueH7291 thee? or that there be threeH7969 days'H3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? now adviseH3045, and seeH7200 what answerH1697 I shall returnH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let us fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH7227: and let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {are great: or, are many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 even to the timeH6256 appointedH4150: and there diedH4191 of the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And when the angelH4397 stretched outH7971 his handH3027 upon JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it, the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843 the peopleH5971, It is enoughH7227: stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 was by the threshingplaceH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 unto the LORDH3068 when he sawH7200 the angelH4397 that smoteH5221 the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Lo, I have sinnedH2398, and I have done wickedlyH5753: but these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father'sH1 houseH1004.
And GadH1410 cameH935 that dayH3117 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, rearH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983. {Araunah: Heb. Araniah}
And DavidH1732, according to the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, went upH5927 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
And AraunahH728 lookedH8259, and sawH7200 the kingH4428 and his servantsH5650 coming onH5674 toward him: and AraunahH728 went outH3318, and bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 on his faceH639 upon the groundH776.
And AraunahH728 saidH559, Wherefore is my lordH113 the kingH4428 comeH935 to his servantH5650? And DavidH1732 saidH559, To buyH7069 the threshingfloorH1637 of thee, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971.
And AraunahH728 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Let my lordH113 the kingH4428 takeH3947 and offer upH5927 what seemeth goodH2896 unto himH5869: beholdH7200, here be oxenH1241 for burnt sacrificeH5930, and threshing instrumentsH4173 and other instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241 for woodH6086.
All these things did AraunahH728, as a kingH4428, giveH5414 unto the kingH4428. And AraunahH728 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 acceptH7521 thee.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto AraunahH728, Nay; but I will surelyH7069 buyH7069 it of thee at a priceH4242: neither will I offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430 of that which doth cost me nothingH2600. So DavidH1732 boughtH7069 the threshingfloorH1637 and the oxenH1241 for fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002. So the LORDH3068 was intreatedH6279 for the landH776, and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from IsraelH3478.
And againH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496 DavidH1732 against them to sayH559, GoH3212, numberH4487 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971, GoH3212, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835; and bringH935 the numberH4557 of them to me, that I may knowH3045 it.
And JoabH3097 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord'sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478?
Nevertheless the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097. Wherefore JoabH3097 departedH3318, and wentH1980 throughout all IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto DavidH1732. And all they of IsraelH3478 were a thousandH505 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: and JudahH3063 was fourH702 hundredH3967 threescore and tenH7657 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
But LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 countedH6485 he not amongH8432 them: for the king'sH4428 wordH1697 was abominableH8581 to JoabH3097.
And GodH430 was displeasedH3415+H5869 with this thingH1697; therefore he smoteH5221 IsraelH3478. {And…: Heb. And it was evil in the eyes of the LORD concerning this thing}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966, because I have doneH6213 this thingH1697: but now, I beseech thee, do awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH1696 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I offerH5186 thee threeH7969 things: chooseH977 thee oneH259 of themH2007, that I may doH6213 it unto thee. {offer: Heb. stretch out}
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, ChooseH6901 thee {Choose…: Heb. Take to thee}
Either threeH7969 years'H8141 famineH7458; or threeH7969 monthsH2320 to be destroyedH5595 beforeH6440 thy foesH6862, while that the swordH2719 of thine enemiesH341 overtakethH5381 thee; orH518 else threeH7969 daysH3117 the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, even the pestilenceH1698, in the landH776, and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 destroyingH7843 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478. Now therefore adviseH7200 thyself what wordH1697 I shall bring againH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let me fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for veryH3966 greatH7227 are his merciesH7356: but let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {very great: or, very many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478: and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was destroyingH7843, the LORDH3068 beheldH7200, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843, It is enoughH7227, stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 by the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. {Ornan: also called, Araunah 2.Sam.24.18.}
And DavidH1732 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standH5975 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretched outH5186 over JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205 of Israel, who were clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 upon their facesH6440.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it not I that commandedH559 the peopleH5971 to be numberedH4487? even I it is that have sinnedH2398 and done evilH7489 indeedH7489; but as for these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, be on me, and on my father'sH1 houseH1004; but not on thy peopleH5971, that they should be plaguedH4046.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should go upH5927, and set upH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927 at the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, which he spakeH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And OrnanH771 turned backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 with him hidH2244 themselves. Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406. {And Ornan…: or, When Ornan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves}
And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and went outH3318 of the threshingfloorH1637, and bowedH7812 himself to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GrantH5414 me the placeH4725 of this threshingfloorH1637, that I may buildH1129 an altarH4196 therein unto the LORDH3068: thou shalt grantH5414 it me for the fullH4392 priceH3701: that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971. {Grant: Heb. Give}
And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 that which is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: loH7200, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 also for burnt offeringsH5930, and the threshing instrumentsH4173 for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the meat offeringH4503; I giveH5414 it all.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verilyH7069 buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701: for I will not takeH5375 that which is thine for the LORDH3068, nor offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 without costH2600.
So DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002, and calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 upon the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930.
And the LORDH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397; and he put upH7725 his swordH2719 againH7725 into the sheathH5084 thereof.
At that timeH6256 when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 had answeredH6030 him in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, then he sacrificedH2076 there.
For the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, which MosesH4872 madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057, and the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930, were at that seasonH6256 in the high placeH1116 at GibeonH1391.
But DavidH1732 couldH3201 not goH3212 beforeH6440 it to enquireH1875 of GodH430: for he was afraidH1204 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
And againH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496 DavidH1732 against them to sayH559, GoH3212, numberH4487 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
For the kingH4428 saidH559 to JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH2428, which was with him, Go now throughH7751 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, and numberH6485 ye the peopleH5971, that I may knowH3045 the numberH4557 of the peopleH5971. {Go: or, Compass}
And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Now the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 addH3254 unto the peopleH5971, how many soeverH1992 they be, an hundredfoldH3967+H6471, and that the eyesH5869 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 may seeH7200 it: but why doth my lordH113 the kingH4428 delightH2654 in this thingH1697?
Notwithstanding the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097, and against the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428. And JoabH3097 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, to numberH6485 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478.
And they passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and pitchedH2583 in AroerH6177, on the right sideH3225 of the cityH5892 that lieth in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158 of GadH1410, and toward JazerH3270: {river: or, valley}
Then they cameH935 to GileadH1568, and to the landH776 of TahtimhodshiH8483; and they cameH935 to DanjaanH1842, and aboutH5439 to ZidonH6721, {land of Tahtimhodshi: or, nether land newly inhabited}
And cameH935 to the strong holdH4013 of TyreH6865, and to all the citiesH5892 of the HivitesH2340, and of the CanaanitesH3669: and they went outH3318 to the southH5045 of JudahH3063, even to BeershebaH884.
So when they had goneH7751 through all the landH776, they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 at the endH7097 of nineH8672 monthsH2320 and twentyH6242 daysH3117.
And JoabH3097 gave upH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto the kingH4428: and there were in IsraelH3478 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 valiantH2428 menH376+H381 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; and the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376.
And David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him afterH310 that he had numberedH5608 the peopleH5971. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966 in that I have doneH6213: and now, I beseech thee, O LORDH3068, take awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
For when DavidH1732 was upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and sayH559 unto DavidH1732, Thus saithH1696 the LORDH3068, I offerH5190 thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977 thee oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto theeH6213.
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and toldH5046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Shall sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 comeH935 unto thee in thy landH776? or wilt thou fleeH5127 threeH7969 monthsH2320 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH6862, while they pursueH7291 thee? or that there be threeH7969 days'H3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? now adviseH3045, and seeH7200 what answerH1697 I shall returnH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let us fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH7227: and let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {are great: or, are many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 even to the timeH6256 appointedH4150: and there diedH4191 of the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And when the angelH4397 stretched outH7971 his handH3027 upon JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it, the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843 the peopleH5971, It is enoughH7227: stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 was by the threshingplaceH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 unto the LORDH3068 when he sawH7200 the angelH4397 that smoteH5221 the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Lo, I have sinnedH2398, and I have done wickedlyH5753: but these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father'sH1 houseH1004.
And GadH1410 cameH935 that dayH3117 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, rearH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983. {Araunah: Heb. Araniah}
And DavidH1732, according to the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, went upH5927 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
And AraunahH728 lookedH8259, and sawH7200 the kingH4428 and his servantsH5650 coming onH5674 toward him: and AraunahH728 went outH3318, and bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 on his faceH639 upon the groundH776.
And AraunahH728 saidH559, Wherefore is my lordH113 the kingH4428 comeH935 to his servantH5650? And DavidH1732 saidH559, To buyH7069 the threshingfloorH1637 of thee, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971.
And AraunahH728 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Let my lordH113 the kingH4428 takeH3947 and offer upH5927 what seemeth goodH2896 unto himH5869: beholdH7200, here be oxenH1241 for burnt sacrificeH5930, and threshing instrumentsH4173 and other instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241 for woodH6086.
All these things did AraunahH728, as a kingH4428, giveH5414 unto the kingH4428. And AraunahH728 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 acceptH7521 thee.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto AraunahH728, Nay; but I will surelyH7069 buyH7069 it of thee at a priceH4242: neither will I offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430 of that which doth cost me nothingH2600. So DavidH1732 boughtH7069 the threshingfloorH1637 and the oxenH1241 for fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002. So the LORDH3068 was intreatedH6279 for the landH776, and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from IsraelH3478.
WhereforeG1352 we wouldG2309 have comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, evenG3303 IG1473 PaulG3972, onceG2532+G530 andG2532 againG1364; butG2532 SatanG4567 hinderedG1465 usG2248.
And againH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496 DavidH1732 against them to sayH559, GoH3212, numberH4487 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
For the kingH4428 saidH559 to JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH2428, which was with him, Go now throughH7751 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, and numberH6485 ye the peopleH5971, that I may knowH3045 the numberH4557 of the peopleH5971. {Go: or, Compass}
And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Now the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 addH3254 unto the peopleH5971, how many soeverH1992 they be, an hundredfoldH3967+H6471, and that the eyesH5869 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 may seeH7200 it: but why doth my lordH113 the kingH4428 delightH2654 in this thingH1697?
Notwithstanding the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097, and against the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428. And JoabH3097 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH2428 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, to numberH6485 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478.
And they passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and pitchedH2583 in AroerH6177, on the right sideH3225 of the cityH5892 that lieth in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158 of GadH1410, and toward JazerH3270: {river: or, valley}
Then they cameH935 to GileadH1568, and to the landH776 of TahtimhodshiH8483; and they cameH935 to DanjaanH1842, and aboutH5439 to ZidonH6721, {land of Tahtimhodshi: or, nether land newly inhabited}
And cameH935 to the strong holdH4013 of TyreH6865, and to all the citiesH5892 of the HivitesH2340, and of the CanaanitesH3669: and they went outH3318 to the southH5045 of JudahH3063, even to BeershebaH884.
So when they had goneH7751 through all the landH776, they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 at the endH7097 of nineH8672 monthsH2320 and twentyH6242 daysH3117.
And JoabH3097 gave upH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto the kingH4428: and there were in IsraelH3478 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 valiantH2428 menH376+H381 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; and the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376.
And David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him afterH310 that he had numberedH5608 the peopleH5971. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966 in that I have doneH6213: and now, I beseech thee, O LORDH3068, take awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
For when DavidH1732 was upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and sayH559 unto DavidH1732, Thus saithH1696 the LORDH3068, I offerH5190 thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977 thee oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto theeH6213.
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and toldH5046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Shall sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 comeH935 unto thee in thy landH776? or wilt thou fleeH5127 threeH7969 monthsH2320 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH6862, while they pursueH7291 thee? or that there be threeH7969 days'H3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? now adviseH3045, and seeH7200 what answerH1697 I shall returnH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let us fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH7227: and let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {are great: or, are many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478 from the morningH1242 even to the timeH6256 appointedH4150: and there diedH4191 of the peopleH5971 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And when the angelH4397 stretched outH7971 his handH3027 upon JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it, the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843 the peopleH5971, It is enoughH7227: stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 was by the threshingplaceH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 unto the LORDH3068 when he sawH7200 the angelH4397 that smoteH5221 the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Lo, I have sinnedH2398, and I have done wickedlyH5753: but these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father'sH1 houseH1004.
And GadH1410 cameH935 that dayH3117 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, rearH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of AraunahH728 the JebusiteH2983. {Araunah: Heb. Araniah}
And DavidH1732, according to the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, went upH5927 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
And AraunahH728 lookedH8259, and sawH7200 the kingH4428 and his servantsH5650 coming onH5674 toward him: and AraunahH728 went outH3318, and bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 on his faceH639 upon the groundH776.
And AraunahH728 saidH559, Wherefore is my lordH113 the kingH4428 comeH935 to his servantH5650? And DavidH1732 saidH559, To buyH7069 the threshingfloorH1637 of thee, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971.
And AraunahH728 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Let my lordH113 the kingH4428 takeH3947 and offer upH5927 what seemeth goodH2896 unto himH5869: beholdH7200, here be oxenH1241 for burnt sacrificeH5930, and threshing instrumentsH4173 and other instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241 for woodH6086.
All these things did AraunahH728, as a kingH4428, giveH5414 unto the kingH4428. And AraunahH728 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 acceptH7521 thee.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto AraunahH728, Nay; but I will surelyH7069 buyH7069 it of thee at a priceH4242: neither will I offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430 of that which doth cost me nothingH2600. So DavidH1732 boughtH7069 the threshingfloorH1637 and the oxenH1241 for fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002. So the LORDH3068 was intreatedH6279 for the landH776, and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from IsraelH3478.
And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971, GoH3212, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835; and bringH935 the numberH4557 of them to me, that I may knowH3045 it.
And JoabH3097 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord'sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478?
Nevertheless the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097. Wherefore JoabH3097 departedH3318, and wentH1980 throughout all IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto DavidH1732. And all they of IsraelH3478 were a thousandH505 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: and JudahH3063 was fourH702 hundredH3967 threescore and tenH7657 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
But LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 countedH6485 he not amongH8432 them: for the king'sH4428 wordH1697 was abominableH8581 to JoabH3097.
And GodH430 was displeasedH3415+H5869 with this thingH1697; therefore he smoteH5221 IsraelH3478. {And…: Heb. And it was evil in the eyes of the LORD concerning this thing}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966, because I have doneH6213 this thingH1697: but now, I beseech thee, do awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH1696 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I offerH5186 thee threeH7969 things: chooseH977 thee oneH259 of themH2007, that I may doH6213 it unto thee. {offer: Heb. stretch out}
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, ChooseH6901 thee {Choose…: Heb. Take to thee}
Either threeH7969 years'H8141 famineH7458; or threeH7969 monthsH2320 to be destroyedH5595 beforeH6440 thy foesH6862, while that the swordH2719 of thine enemiesH341 overtakethH5381 thee; orH518 else threeH7969 daysH3117 the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, even the pestilenceH1698, in the landH776, and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 destroyingH7843 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478. Now therefore adviseH7200 thyself what wordH1697 I shall bring againH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let me fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for veryH3966 greatH7227 are his merciesH7356: but let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {very great: or, very many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478: and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was destroyingH7843, the LORDH3068 beheldH7200, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843, It is enoughH7227, stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 by the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. {Ornan: also called, Araunah 2.Sam.24.18.}
And DavidH1732 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standH5975 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretched outH5186 over JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205 of Israel, who were clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 upon their facesH6440.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it not I that commandedH559 the peopleH5971 to be numberedH4487? even I it is that have sinnedH2398 and done evilH7489 indeedH7489; but as for these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, be on me, and on my father'sH1 houseH1004; but not on thy peopleH5971, that they should be plaguedH4046.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should go upH5927, and set upH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927 at the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, which he spakeH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And OrnanH771 turned backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 with him hidH2244 themselves. Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406. {And Ornan…: or, When Ornan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves}
And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and went outH3318 of the threshingfloorH1637, and bowedH7812 himself to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GrantH5414 me the placeH4725 of this threshingfloorH1637, that I may buildH1129 an altarH4196 therein unto the LORDH3068: thou shalt grantH5414 it me for the fullH4392 priceH3701: that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971. {Grant: Heb. Give}
And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 that which is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: loH7200, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 also for burnt offeringsH5930, and the threshing instrumentsH4173 for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the meat offeringH4503; I giveH5414 it all.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verilyH7069 buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701: for I will not takeH5375 that which is thine for the LORDH3068, nor offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 without costH2600.
So DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002, and calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 upon the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930.
And the LORDH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397; and he put upH7725 his swordH2719 againH7725 into the sheathH5084 thereof.
At that timeH6256 when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 had answeredH6030 him in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, then he sacrificedH2076 there.
For the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, which MosesH4872 madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057, and the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930, were at that seasonH6256 in the high placeH1116 at GibeonH1391.
But DavidH1732 couldH3201 not goH3212 beforeH6440 it to enquireH1875 of GodH430: for he was afraidH1204 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
TakeH5375 ye the sumH7218 of all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, after their familiesH4940, by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, with the numberH4557 of their namesH8034, every maleH2145 by their pollsH1538;
TakeH5375 the sumH7218 of all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, throughout their fathers'H1 houseH1004, all that are able to goH3318 to warH6635 in IsraelH3478.
When thou takestH5375 the sumH7218 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 after their numberH6485, then shall they giveH5414 every manH376 a ransomH3724 for his soulH5315 unto the LORDH3068, when thou numberestH6485 them; that there be no plagueH5063 among them, when thou numberestH6485 them. {their number: Heb. them that are to be numbered}
This they shall giveH5414, every one that passethH5674 amongH5921 them that are numberedH6485, halfH4276 a shekelH8255 after the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944: (a shekelH8255 is twentyH6242 gerahsH1626:) an halfH4276 shekelH8255 shall be the offeringH8641 of the LORDH3068.
Every one that passethH5674 among them that are numberedH6485, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605, shall giveH5414 an offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068.
The richH6223 shall not give moreH7235, and the poorH1800 shall not give lessH4591 than halfH4276 a shekelH8255, when they giveH5414 an offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068, to make an atonementH3722 for your soulsH5315. {give more: Heb. multiply} {give less: Heb. diminish}
And thou shalt takeH3947 the atonementH3725 moneyH3701 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and shalt appointH5414 it for the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150; that it may be a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to make an atonementH3722 for your soulsH5315.
AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250 PeterG4074 stood upG450 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the disciplesG3101, and saidG2036+G5037, (the numberG3793 of namesG3686 togetherG1909+G846 wereG2258 aboutG5613 an hundredG1540 and twentyG1501,)
ThenG3303+G3767 they that gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590.
HowbeitG1161 manyG4183 of them which heardG191 the wordG3056 believedG4100; andG2532 the numberG706 of the menG435 wasG1096 aboutG5616 fiveG4002 thousandG5505.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.
This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5462 thee into mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thine headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcasesH6297 of the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the wild beastsH2416 of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478. {deliver…: Heb. shut thee up}
And againH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he movedH5496 DavidH1732 against them to sayH559, GoH3212, numberH4487 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
