King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And again[H3254] the anger[H639] of the LORD[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against Israel,[H3478] and he moved[H5496] [H853] David[H1732] against them to say,[H559] Go,[H1980] number[H4487] [H853] Israel[H3478] and Judah.[H3063]

2. For the king[H4428] said[H559] to[H413] Joab[H3097] the captain[H8269] of the host,[H2428] which[H834] was with[H854] him, Go[H7751] now[H4994] through all[H3605] the tribes[H7626] of Israel,[H3478] from Dan[H4480] [H1835] even to[H5704] Beer-sheba,[H884] and number[H6485] ye[H853] the people,[H5971] that I may know[H3045] [H853] the number[H4557] of the people.[H5971]

3. And Joab[H3097] said[H559] unto[H413] the king,[H4428] Now the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] add[H3254] unto[H413] the people,[H5971] how many soever they be[H1992] [H1992] a hundredfold,[H3967] [H6471] and that the eyes[H5869] of my lord[H113] the king[H4428] may see[H7200] it: but why[H4100] doth my lord[H113] the king[H4428] delight[H2654] in this[H2088] thing?[H1697]

4. Notwithstanding the king's[H4428] word[H1697] prevailed[H2388] against[H413] Joab,[H3097] and against[H5921] the captains[H8269] of the host.[H2428] And Joab[H3097] and the captains[H8269] of the host[H2428] went out[H3318] from the presence[H6440] of the king,[H4428] to number[H6485] [H853] the people[H5971] of Israel.[H3478]

5. And they passed over[H5674] [H853] Jordan,[H3383] and pitched[H2583] in Aroer,[H6177] on the right side[H3225] of the city[H5892] that[H834] lieth in the midst[H8432] of the river[H5158] of Gad,[H1410] and toward[H413] Jazer: [H3270]

6. Then they came[H935] to Gilead,[H1568] and to[H413] the land[H776] of Tahtim-hodshi;[H8483] and they came[H935] to Dan-jaan,[H1842] and about[H5439] to[H413] Zidon,[H6721]

7. And came[H935] to the stronghold[H4013] of Tyre,[H6865] and to all[H3605] the cities[H5892] of the Hivites,[H2340] and of the Canaanites:[H3669] and they went out[H3318] to[H413] the south[H5045] of Judah,[H3063] even to Beer-sheba.[H884]

8. So when they had gone[H7751] through all[H3605] the land,[H776] they came[H935] to Jerusalem[H3389] at the end[H4480] [H7097] of nine[H8672] months[H2320] and twenty[H6242] days.[H3117]

9. And Joab[H3097] gave up[H5414] [H853] the sum[H4557] of the number[H4662] of the people[H5971] unto[H413] the king:[H4428] and there were[H1961] in Israel[H3478] eight[H8083] hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] valiant[H2428] men[H376] that drew[H8025] the sword;[H2719] and the men[H376] of Judah[H3063] were five[H2568] hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] men.[H376]

10. And David's[H1732] heart[H3820] smote[H5221] him after[H310] that[H3651] he had numbered[H5608] [H853] the people.[H5971] And David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] the LORD,[H3068] I have sinned[H2398] greatly[H3966] in that[H834] I have done:[H6213] and now,[H6258] I beseech thee,[H4994] O LORD,[H3068] take away[H5674] [H853] the iniquity[H5771] of thy servant;[H5650] for[H3588] I have done very[H3966] foolishly.[H5528]

11. For when David[H1732] was up[H6965] in the morning,[H1242] the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] unto[H413] the prophet[H5030] Gad,[H1410] David's[H1732] seer,[H2374] saying,[H559]

12. Go[H1980] and say[H559] unto[H413] David,[H1732] Thus[H3541] saith[H1696] the LORD,[H3068] I[H595] offer[H5190] [H5921] thee three[H7969] things; choose[H977] thee one[H259] of[H4480] them, that I may do[H6213] it unto thee.

13. So Gad[H1410] came[H935] to[H413] David,[H1732] and told[H5046] him, and said[H559] unto him, Shall seven[H7651] years[H8141] of famine[H7458] come[H935] unto thee in thy land?[H776] or[H518] wilt thou flee[H5127] three[H7969] months[H2320] before[H6440] thine enemies,[H6862] while they[H1931] pursue[H7291] thee? or[H518] that there be[H1961] three[H7969] days'[H3117] pestilence[H1698] in thy land?[H776] now[H6258] advise,[H3045] and see[H7200] what[H4100] answer[H1697] I shall return[H7725] to him that sent[H7971] me.

14. And David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] Gad,[H1410] I am in a great[H3966] strait:[H6862] let us fall[H5307] now[H4994] into the hand[H3027] of the LORD;[H3068] for[H3588] his mercies[H7356] are great:[H7227] and let me not[H408] fall[H5307] into the hand[H3027] of man.[H120]

15. So the LORD[H3068] sent[H5414] a pestilence[H1698] upon Israel[H3478] from the morning[H1242] even to[H5704] the time[H6256] appointed:[H4150] and there died[H4191] of[H4480] the people[H5971] from Dan[H4480] [H1835] even to[H5704] Beer-sheba[H884] seventy[H7657] thousand[H505] men.[H376]

16. And when the angel[H4397] stretched out[H7971] his hand[H3027] upon Jerusalem[H3389] to destroy[H7843] it, the LORD[H3068] repented him[H5162] of[H413] the evil,[H7451] and said[H559] to the angel[H4397] that destroyed[H7843] the people,[H5971] It is enough:[H7227] stay[H7503] now[H6258] thine hand.[H3027] And the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] was[H1961] by[H5973] the threshingplace[H1637] of Araunah[H728] the Jebusite.[H2983]

17. And David[H1732] spoke[H559] unto[H413] the LORD[H3068] when he saw[H7200] [H853] the angel[H4397] that smote[H5221] the people,[H5971] and said,[H559] Lo,[H2009] I[H595] have sinned,[H2398] and I[H595] have done wickedly:[H5753] but these[H428] sheep,[H6629] what[H4100] have they done?[H6213] let thine hand,[H3027] I pray thee,[H4994] be[H1961] against me, and against my father's[H1] house.[H1004]

18. And Gad[H1410] came[H935] that[H1931] day[H3117] to[H413] David,[H1732] and said[H559] unto him, Go up,[H5927] rear[H6965] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD[H3068] in the threshingfloor[H1637] of Araunah[H728] the Jebusite.[H2983]

19. And David,[H1732] according to the saying[H1697] of Gad,[H1410] went up[H5927] as[H834] the LORD[H3068] commanded.[H6680]

20. And Araunah[H728] looked,[H8259] and saw[H7200] [H853] the king[H4428] and his servants[H5650] coming on[H5674] toward[H5921] him: and Araunah[H728] went out,[H3318] and bowed himself[H7812] before the king[H4428] on his face[H639] upon the ground.[H776]

21. And Araunah[H728] said,[H559] Wherefore[H4069] is my lord[H113] the king[H4428] come[H935] to[H413] his servant?[H5650] And David[H1732] said,[H559] To buy[H7069] [H853] the threshingfloor[H1637] of[H4480] [H5973] thee, to build[H1129] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD,[H3068] that the plague[H4046] may be stayed[H6113] from[H4480] [H5921] the people.[H5971]

22. And Araunah[H728] said[H559] unto[H413] David,[H1732] Let my lord[H113] the king[H4428] take[H3947] and offer up[H5927] what seemeth good[H2896] unto him:[H5869] behold,[H7200] here be oxen[H1241] for burnt sacrifice,[H5930] and threshing instruments[H4173] and other instruments[H3627] of the oxen[H1241] for wood.[H6086]

23. All[H3605] these things did Araunah,[H728] as a king,[H4428] give[H5414] unto[H413] the king.[H4428] And Araunah[H728] said[H559] unto the king,[H4428] The LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] accept[H7521] thee.

24. And the king[H4428] said[H559] unto[H413] Araunah,[H728] Nay;[H3808] but[H3588] I will surely buy[H7069] [H7069] it of[H4480] [H854] thee at a price:[H4242] neither[H3808] will I offer[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] unto the LORD[H3068] my God[H430] of that which[H834] doth cost me nothing.[H2600] So David[H1732] bought[H7069] [H853] the threshingfloor[H1637] and the oxen[H1241] for fifty[H2572] shekels[H8255] of silver.[H3701]

25. And David[H1732] built[H1129] there[H8033] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD,[H3068] and offered[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] and peace offerings.[H8002] So the LORD[H3068] was entreated[H6279] for the land,[H776] and the plague[H4046] was stayed[H6113] from[H4480] [H5921] Israel.[H3478]
