and to his friends, and have
not delivered thee into the
hand of David, that thou
chargest me today with a

and took her from her
husband, even from Phaltiel
the son of Laish

with her along weeping
behind her to Bahurim.then

sought for David in times
past to be be King over you:

AND DAVID SAID UNTO THE
LORD I HAVE SINNED

NATIONAL SIN CARRIER
OF ISRAEL
|
|
GREATLY IN THAT I HAVE
DONE
(10) And David’s heart smote
him after that he had
numbered the people. And
David said unto the LORD, I
have sinned greatly in that I
have done: and now , I
beseech thee, O LORD, take
away the iniquity of thy
servant; for I have done very
foolishly
(11) For when David was up
in the morning, the word of
the LORD came unto the
prophet Gad, David’s seer,
sayings
(12) Go and say unto David,
thus saith the LORD, I offer
thee one of them, that I may
do it unto thee.
(13) So Gad came to David,
and told him, and said unto
him, shall seven years of
famine come unto thee in thy
land? Or wilt thou flee three
months before thine
enemies, while they pursue
thee? Or that there be three
days pestilence in thy land?
Now advise, and see what
answer I shall return to him
that sent me
(14) And David said unto
Gad, I am in a great strait; let
us fall now into the hand of
the LORD; for his mercies are
great; and let me not fall into
the hand of men
(15) So the LORD sent a
pestilence upon Israel from
the morning even to the time
appointed ; and there died of
the people from Dan even to
|
||
|
Beer-sheba seventy thousand
men
(16) And when the angel
stretch out his hand upon
Jerusalem to destroy it, the
LORD repented him of the
evil, and said to the angel
that destroy the people, it is
enough ; stay now thine
hand, and the angel of the
LORD was by the threshing
place of Araunah the Jebusite
(17) And David spake unto
the LORD when he saw the
angel that smote the people,
and said lo I have sinned, and
I have done wickedly; but
these sheep, what have they
done? Let thine hand, I pray
thee, be against me, and
against my father’s house

2 SAMUEL 24:18-25
|
AND ARAUNAH SAID,
WHEREFORE IS THE LORD
THE KING COME TO HIS
SERVANT? AND DAVID
SAID,TO BUY THE
THRESHING FLOOR OF THEE,
TO BUILD AN ALTAR UNTO
THE LORD, THAT THE
PLAGUE MAY BE STAYED
FROM THE PEOPLE
(18) And Gad came that day
to David, and said unto him,
Go up rear an altar unto the
LORD in the threshing floor
of Araunah the Jebusite
(19) And David According to
the saying of Gad, went up
as the LORD commanded
(20) And Araunah looked,
and saw the king and his
servants coming on toward
him: and Araunah went out,
|
THE GODLY DELIVERER
AND NATION SAVER
|
|
and bowed himself before
the king on his face upon the
ground
(21) And Aaunah said,
wherefore is my LORD the
King come to his servant?
And David said to buy the
threshing floor of thee, to
build an altar unto the LORD
,that the plague may be
stayed from the people
(22) And Araunah said unto
David, let my Lord the king
take and offer up what
seemeth good unto him:
behold, here be oxen for
burnt sacrifice, and threshing
instruments and other
instruments of the oxen for
wood
(23)All these things did
Araunah, as a King, give unto
the King And Araumah said
unto the king the LORD thy
GOD accept thee
(24) And the King said unto
Araunah, nay; but I will surely
buy it of thee at a price:
neither will I offer burnt
offering unto the LORD my
GOD of that which doth cost
me nothing. So David bought
the threshing floor and the
oxen for fifty shekels of silver
(25) And David built there an
altar unto the LORD, and
offered burnt offerings and
peace offerings. So the LORD
was entreated for the land,
and the plague was stayed
from Israel.
