New King James Version (NKJV)
1 Chronicles 21
6 But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.
8 So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
10 "Go and tell David, saying, ’Thus says the Lord: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you." ’ "
11 So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the Lord: ’Choose for yourself,
12 either three of the Lord destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now consider what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."
13 And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
14 So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he the Jebusite.
16 Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
