¹⁶ When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented^(A) concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord^(B) was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

⁶ Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede^(A) with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before.
