1 Chronicles 21:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: “I’m holding three choices out for you: pick one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.”’”^[a]

¹¹ Gad went to David and told him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Make a choice for yourself: ¹² Either three years of famine, or three months of reversals^[b] as you are swept away by your enemies while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or three days with the sword of the Lord, consisting of pestilence infecting the land, with the angel of the Lord wreaking destruction from border to border throughout all^[c] of Israel.’ Decide right now what I am to answer to the one who sent me.”
