Expanded Bible

¹⁰ ·David felt ashamed [^LDavid’s heart/conscience troubled him] after he had ·counted [taken a census of; registered; numbered] the people. He said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly by what I have done. Lord, I beg you to ·forgive me, [^Ltake away the guilt/iniquity of] your servant, because I have been very foolish.”

¹¹ When David got up in the morning, the ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to Gad, who was a prophet and David’s seer. ¹² The Lord told Gad, “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I offer you three ·choices [options; things]. Choose one of them and I will ·do it to [inflict it on] you.’”
