2 Samuel 24:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ David saw the angel that killed the people. Then he said to the Lord, “I’ve sinned! I’ve done wrong! But these people only followed me like sheep! They did nothing wrong! Please let your punishment be against me and my father’s family!”

¹⁸ That day Gad came to David. Gad told him, “Go and build an altar to the Lord. Build it on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” ¹⁹ So David did what Gad told him to do. He obeyed the Lord’s command and went to see Araunah.
