1_Chronicles 21: 9 And the LORD spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying:
1_Chronicles 21: 10 'Go and speak unto David, saying: Thus saith the LORD: I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'
1_Chronicles 21: 11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Take which thou wilt:
1_Chronicles 21: 12 either three years of famine; or three months to be swept away before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel.
