1 Chronicles 21:17-19
New English Translation

17 David said to God, “Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed![a] As for these sheep—what have they done? O Lord my God, attack me and my family,[b] but remove the plague from your people!”[c]

18 So the angel of the Lord told Gad to instruct David to go up and build[d] an altar for the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 19 So David went up as Gad instructed him to do in the name of the Lord.[e]
