2 Samuel 24:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ David had a guilty conscience after he had counted the fighting men. So David said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But, Lord, please take away the guilt of your servant, because I have acted very foolishly.”

¹¹ When David got up in the morning, the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet, David’s seer. The Lord said, ¹² “Go tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says. I am laying out three choices before you. Choose one of them for yourself, and I will carry it out against you.’”
