2 Samuel 24:10-12

International Standard Version

Discipline for David’s Sin^(A)

¹⁰ Later, David’s conscience bothered^[a] him after he had numbered the army,^[b] so David told the Lord, “I have sinned greatly by what I did. But now I am asking you, please remove the guilt of your servant, since I have acted very foolishly.”

¹¹ Before David arose the next morning, this message from the Lord came to Gad, David’s seer: ¹² “Go 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.”’”
