2 Samuel 24:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ When David saw the angel who was smiting the people, he spoke to the Lord and said, Behold, I have sinned and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray You, be [only] against me and against my father’s house.

¹⁸ Then Gad came to David and said, Go up, rear an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁹ So David went up according to Gad’s word, as the Lord commanded.
