King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And Satan[H7854] stood up[H5975] against[H5921] Israel,[H3478] and provoked[H5496] [H853] David[H1732] to number[H4487] [H853] Israel.[H3478]

2. And David[H1732] said[H559] to[H413] Joab[H3097] and to[H413] the rulers[H8269] of the people,[H5971] Go,[H1980] number[H5608] [H853] Israel[H3478] from Beer-sheba[H4480] [H884] even to[H5704] Dan;[H1835] and bring[H935] [H853] the number[H4557] of them to[H413] me, that I may know[H3045] it.

3. And Joab[H3097] answered,[H559] The LORD[H3068] make his people[H5971] a hundred[H3967] times[H6471] so many more[H3254] as they[H1992] be: but, my lord[H113] the king,[H4428] are they not[H3808] all[H3605] my lord's[H113] servants?[H5650] why[H4100] then doth my lord[H113] require[H1245] this thing?[H2063] why[H4100] will he be[H1961] a cause of trespass[H819] to Israel?[H3478]

4. Nevertheless the king's[H4428] word[H1697] prevailed[H2388] against[H5921] Joab.[H3097] Wherefore Joab[H3097] departed,[H3318] and went[H1980] throughout all[H3605] Israel,[H3478] and came[H935] to Jerusalem.[H3389]

5. And Joab[H3097] gave[H5414] [H853] the sum[H4557] of the number[H4662] of the people[H5971] unto[H413] David.[H1732] And all[H3605] they of Israel[H3478] were[H1961] a thousand[H505] thousand[H505] and a hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] men[H376] that drew[H8025] sword:[H2719] and Judah[H3063] was four[H702] hundred[H3967] threescore and ten[H7657] thousand[H505] men[H376] that drew[H8025] sword.[H2719]

6. But Levi[H3878] and Benjamin[H1144] counted[H6485] he not[H3808] among[H8432] them: for[H3588] the king's[H4428] word[H1697] was abominable[H8581] to[H853] Joab.[H3097]

7. And God[H430] was displeased[H3415] [H5869] with[H5921] this[H2088] thing;[H1697] therefore he smote[H5221] [H853] Israel.[H3478]

8. And David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] God,[H430] I have sinned[H2398] greatly,[H3966] because[H834] I have done[H6213] [H853] this[H2088] thing:[H1697] but now,[H6258] I beseech thee,[H4994] do away[H5674] [H853] the iniquity[H5771] of thy servant;[H5650] for[H3588] I have done very foolishly.[H5528] [H3966]

9. And the LORD[H3068] spoke[H1696] unto[H413] Gad,[H1410] David's[H1732] seer,[H2374] saying,[H559]

10. Go[H1980] and tell[H1696] [H413] David,[H1732] saying,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] I[H589] offer[H5186] [H5921] thee three[H7969] things: choose[H977] thee one[H259] of them,[H4480] [H1992] that I may do[H6213] it unto thee.

11. So Gad[H1410] came[H935] to[H413] David,[H1732] and said[H559] unto him, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Choose[H6901] thee

12. Either[H518] three[H7969] years'[H8141] famine;[H7458] or[H518] three[H7969] months[H2320] to be destroyed[H5595] before[H4480] [H6440] thy foes,[H6862] while that the sword[H2719] of thine enemies[H341] overtaketh[H5381] thee; or else[H518] three[H7969] days[H3117] the sword[H2719] of the LORD,[H3068] even the pestilence,[H1698] in the land,[H776] and the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] destroying[H7843] throughout all[H3605] the coasts[H1366] of Israel.[H3478] Now[H6258] therefore advise[H7200] thyself what[H4100] word[H1697] I shall bring again[H7725] [H853] to him that sent[H7971] me.

13. And David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] Gad,[H1410] I am in a great strait:[H6887] [H3966] let me fall[H5307] now[H4994] into the hand[H3027] of the LORD;[H3068] for[H3588] very[H3966] great[H7227] are his mercies:[H7356] but let me not[H408] fall[H5307] into the hand[H3027] of man.[H120]

14. So the LORD[H3068] sent[H5414] pestilence[H1698] upon Israel:[H3478] and there fell[H5307] of Israel[H4480] [H3478] seventy[H7657] thousand[H505] men.[H376]

15. And God[H430] sent[H7971] an angel[H4397] unto Jerusalem[H3389] to destroy[H7843] it: and as he was destroying,[H7843] the LORD[H3068] beheld,[H7200] and he repented him[H5162] of[H5921] the evil,[H7451] and said[H559] to the angel[H4397] that destroyed,[H7843] It is enough,[H7227] stay[H7503] now[H6258] thine hand.[H3027] And the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] stood[H5975] by[H5973] the threshingfloor[H1637] of Ornan[H771] the Jebusite.[H2983]

16. And David[H1732] lifted up[H5375] [H853] his eyes,[H5869] and saw[H7200] [H853] the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] stand[H5975] between[H996] the earth[H776] and the heaven,[H8064] having a drawn[H8025] sword[H2719] in his hand[H3027] stretched out[H5186] over[H5921] Jerusalem.[H3389] Then David[H1732] and the elders[H2205] of Israel, who were clothed[H3680] in sackcloth,[H8242] fell[H5307] upon[H5921] their faces.[H6440]

17. And David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] God,[H430] Is it not[H3808] I[H589] that commanded[H559] the people[H5971] to be numbered?[H4487] even I[H589] it[H1931] is that[H834] have sinned[H2398] and done evil indeed;[H7489] [H7489] but as for these[H428] sheep,[H6629] what[H4100] have they done?[H6213] let thine hand,[H3027] I pray thee,[H4994] O LORD[H3068] my God,[H430] be[H1961] on me, and on my father's[H1] house;[H1004] but not[H3808] on thy people,[H5971] that they should be plagued.[H4046]

18. Then the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] commanded[H559] [H413] Gad[H1410] to say[H559] to David,[H1732] that[H3588] David[H1732] should go up,[H5927] and set up[H6965] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD[H3068] in the threshingfloor[H1637] of Ornan[H771] the Jebusite.[H2983]

19. And David[H1732] went up[H5927] at the saying[H1697] of Gad,[H1410] which[H834] he spoke[H1696] in the name[H8034] of the LORD.[H3068]

20. And Ornan[H771] turned back,[H7725] and saw[H7200] [H853] the angel;[H4397] and his four[H702] sons[H1121] with[H5973] him hid themselves.[H2244] Now Ornan[H771] was threshing[H1758] wheat.[H2406]

21. And as David[H1732] came[H935] to[H5704] Ornan,[H771] Ornan[H771] looked[H5027] and saw[H7200] [H853] David,[H1732] and went out[H3318] of[H4480] the threshingfloor,[H1637] and bowed himself[H7812] to David[H1732] with his face[H639] to the ground.[H776]

22. Then David[H1732] said[H559] to[H413] Ornan,[H771] Grant[H5414] me the place[H4725] of this threshingfloor,[H1637] that I may build[H1129] an altar[H4196] therein unto the LORD:[H3068] thou shalt grant[H5414] it me for the full[H4392] price:[H3701] that the plague[H4046] may be stayed[H6113] from[H4480] [H5921] the people.[H5971]

23. And Ornan[H771] said[H559] unto[H413] David,[H1732] Take[H3947] it to thee, and let my lord[H113] the king[H4428] do[H6213] that which is good[H2896] in his eyes:[H5869] lo,[H7200] I give[H5414] thee the oxen[H1241] also for burnt offerings,[H5930] and the threshing instruments[H4173] for wood,[H6086] and the wheat[H2406] for the meat offering;[H4503] I give[H5414] it all.[H3605]

24. And king[H4428] David[H1732] said[H559] to Ornan,[H771] Nay;[H3808] but[H3588] I will verily buy[H7069] [H7069] it for the full[H4392] price:[H3701] for[H3588] I will not[H3808] take[H5375] that which[H834] is thine for the LORD,[H3068] nor offer[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] without cost.[H2600]

25. So David[H1732] gave[H5414] to Ornan[H771] for the place[H4725] six[H8337] hundred[H3967] shekels[H8255] of gold[H2091] by weight.[H4948]

26. And David[H1732] built[H1129] there[H8033] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD,[H3068] and offered[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] and peace offerings,[H8002] and called[H7121] upon[H413] the LORD;[H3068] and he answered[H6030] him from[H4480] heaven[H8064] by fire[H784] upon[H5921] the altar[H4196] of burnt offering.[H5930]

27. And the LORD[H3068] commanded[H559] the angel;[H4397] and he put up his sword again[H7725] [H2719] into[H413] the sheath[H5084] thereof.

28. At that[H1931] time[H6256] when David[H1732] saw[H7200] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] had answered[H6030] him in the threshingfloor[H1637] of Ornan[H771] the Jebusite,[H2983] then he sacrificed[H2076] there.[H8033]

29. For the tabernacle[H4908] of the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] Moses[H4872] made[H6213] in the wilderness,[H4057] and the altar[H4196] of the burnt offering,[H5930] were at that[H1931] season[H6256] in the high place[H1116] at Gibeon.[H1391]

30. But David[H1732] could[H3201] not[H3808] go[H1980] before[H6440] it to inquire[H1875] of God:[H430] for[H3588] he was afraid[H1204] because[H4480] [H6440] of the sword[H2719] of the angel[H4397] of the LORD.[H3068]
