(1Ch 21:1–6 )
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:1 -

Now the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 burned H2734 against Israel H3478 again H3254, and He incited H5496 David H1732 against them to say H559, “Go H1980, count H4487 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:2 - So the king H4428 said H559 to Joab H3097 the commander H8269 of the army H2428, who H834 was with him, “Roam H7751 about H7751 now H4994 through all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478, from Dan H1835 to Beersheba H884, and conduct H6485 a H6485 census H6485 of the people H5971, so that I may know H3045 the number H4557 of the people H5971.”

So Joab H3097 and the commanders H8269 of the army H2428 left H3318 the presence H6440 of the king H4428 to conduct H6485 a H6485 census H6485 of the people H5971 of Israel H3478.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:8 - So when they had roamed H7751 about H7751 through the whole H3605 land H776, they came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 at the end H7097 of nine H8672 months H2320 and twenty H6242 days H3117.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:9 - And Joab H3097 gave H5414 the number H4557 of the census H4662 of the people H5971 to the king H4428: in Israel H3478 there were eight H8083 hundred H3967 thousand H505 valiant H2428 men H376 who drew H8025 the sword H2719, and the men H376 of Judah H3063 were five H2568 hundred H3967 thousand H505 men H376.

But now H6258, LORD H3068, please H4994 [fn]overlook H5674 the guilt H5771 of Your servant H5650, for I have acted H5528 very H3966 foolishly H5528.”

Or H518 will you flee H5127 for three H7969 months H2320 before H6440 your enemies H6862 while they pursue H7291 you? Or shall there be three H7969 days H3117 of plague H1698 in your land H776? Now H6258 consider H3045 and see H7200 what H4100 answer H1697 I shall return H7725 to Him who sent H7971 me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:14 - Then David H1732 said H559 to Gad H1410, “I am in great H3966 distress H6887. Let us now H4994 fall H5307 into the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068, for His mercies H7356 are great H7227; but do not let me fall H5307 into human H120 hands H3027.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:21 - Then Araunah H728 said H559, “Why H4069 has my lord H113 the king H4428 come H935 to his servant H5650?” And David H1732 said H559, “To buy H7069 the threshing H1637 floor H1637 from you, in order to build H1129 an altar H4196 to the LORD H3068, so that the plague H4046 may be [fn]withdrawn H6113 from the people H5971.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:22 - Araunah H728 then said H559 to David H1732, “Let my lord H113 the king H4428 take H3947 and offer H5927 up H5927 what H2896 is H2896 good H2896 in his sight H5869.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:23 - “Everything H3605, O king H4428, Araunah H728 gives H5414 to the king H4428.” And Araunah H728 said H559 to the king H4428, “May the LORD H3068 your God H430 be H7521 favorable H7521 to you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:24 - However, the king H4428 said H559 to Araunah H728, “No H3808, but I will certainly H7069 buy H7069 it from you for a price H4242; for I will not offer H5927 burnt H5930 offerings H5930 to the LORD H3068 my God H430 [fn]that H2600 cost H2600 me nothing H2600.” So David H1732 bought H7069 the threshing H1637 floor H1637 and the oxen H1241 for fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver H3701.
