1 Chronicles 21:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ So the Lord sent a plague on Israel, and 70,000 Israelite men died. ¹⁵ Then God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but when the angel was about to destroy the city,^[a] the Lord looked, relented concerning the destruction,^(A) and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough, withdraw your hand now!” The angel of the Lord was then standing at the threshing floor of Ornan^[b] the Jebusite.

¹⁶ When David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth,^(B) fell down with their faces to the ground.
