After David had everyone counted, he felt guilty and told Jehovah: What I did was stupid and terribly wrong. Jehovah, please forgive me. When David got up in the morning, Jehovah spoke his word to the prophet Gad, David's seer. Go tell David: 'This is what Jehovah says: I offer you three choices. Choose the one you want me to do to you.' read more.
Gad told David the three choices as follows: Seven years of famine could come to you and your land. You could flee from your enemies as they pursue you for three months. Or there could be a three-day plague in your land? Think it over, and decide what answer I should give the one who sent me. I am in a desperate situation, David told Gad. Please let us fall into Jehovah's hands because he is very merciful. But do not let me fall into human hands. So Jehovah sent a plague among the Israelites from that morning until the time he had chosen. Of the people from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand died.

Tell David that I am giving him three choices. I will do whichever he chooses. Gad went to David and told him what Jehovah said. He asked: Which is it to be? Three years of famine? Three months of running away from the armies of your enemies? Or: three days in which Jehovah attacks you with his sword and sends an epidemic on your land. He will use his angel to bring death throughout Israel? What answer shall I give Jehovah? David replied to Gad: I am in a desperate situation! But I do not want to be punished by the people.
