The Census Of David

And now advise thyself what word I shall bring again unto him that sent me." ¹³ And David said to Gad, "I am in an exceeding strait. But let me fall in to the hands of the LORD, for passing great is his mercy, and let me not fall unto the hands of men." ¹⁴ And the LORD sent pestilence upon all Israel, so that there were overthrown of Israel seventy thousand men.
