Legacy Standard Bible
13 Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me now fall into the hand of Yahweh, (A)for His compassions are exceedingly abundant. But do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
14 (B)So Yahweh [a]sent a pestilence against Israel; and 70,000 men of Israel fell. 15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, Yahweh saw and [b](C)relented concerning the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough! Now relax your hand.” And the angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of [c]Ornan the Jebusite.
