13:021:011 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the lord,
           Choose thee

13:021:012 Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed
           before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies
           overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the lord,
           even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the lord
           destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel.  Now therefore
           advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent
           me.

13:021:013 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait:  let me fall
           now into the hand of the lord; for very great are his mercies: 
           but let me not fall into the hand of man.

13:021:014 So the lord sent pestilence upon Israel:  and there fell of
           Israel seventy thousand men.

13:021:015 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it:  and as he
           was destroying, the lord beheld, and he repented him of the
           evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay
           now thine hand.  And the angel of the lord stood by the
           threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

13:021:016 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the lord
           stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword
           in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem.  Then David and the
           elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon
           their faces.

13:021:017 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people
           to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil
           indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine
           hand, I pray thee, O lord my God, be on me, and on my father’s
           house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

13:021:018 Then the angel of the lord commanded Gad to say to David, that
           David should go up, and set up an altar unto the lord in the
           threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

13:021:019 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the
           name of the lord.

13:021:020 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons
           with him hid themselves.  Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

13:021:021 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and
           went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David
           with his face to the ground.

13:021:022 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this
           threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the
           lord:  thou shalt grant it me for the full price:  that the
           plague may be stayed from the people.
