He caused David to turn against the Israelites. He told David, \u201cGo count the people of Israel and Judah.\u201d 2King David said to Joab, the captain of the army, \u201cGo through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people. Then I will know how many people there are.\u201d 3But Joab said to the king, \u201cMay the Lord your God give you 100 times as many people, no matter how many there are! And may your eyes see this thing happen. But why do you want to do this?\u201d 4King David strongly commanded Joab and the other captains of the army to count the people. So they went out from the king to count the people of Israel. 5After they crossed over the Jordan River, they made their camp in Aroer on the right side of the city. (The city is in the middle of the valley of Gad, on the way to Jazer.) 6Then they went east to Gilead, all the way to Tahtim Hodshi. Then they went north to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon. 7They went to the fort of Tyre. They went to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites. Then they went south to Beersheba in the southern part of Judah. 8It took them nine months and 20 days for them to go through the country. After nine months and 20 days they came back to Jerusalem. 9Joab gave the list of the people to the king. There were 800,000 men in Israel who could use the sword. And there were 500,000 men in Judah. The Lord Punishes David 10David felt ashamed after he had counted the people and said to the Lord, \u201cI have sinned greatly in what I did! Lord, I beg you, forgive me for my sin. I have been very foolish.\u201d 11When David got up in the morning, the Lord gave this message to Gad, David\u2019s seer: 12\u201cGo and tell David, \u2018This is what the Lord says: There are three ways you can be punished. Choose the one you want.\u2019\u201d 13So Gad went to David and said to him, \u201cChoose one of these three: seven years of famine for you and your country, being chased by your enemies for three months, or three days of disease in your country. Think about it, and decide which one you want. I must give your answer to the one who sent me.\u201d 14David said to Gad, \u201cThis is a terrible situation to be in. But it would be better to be punished by the Lord than by anyone else, because he is very merciful.\u201d 15So the Lord sent a disease against Israel. It began in the morning and continued until the chosen time to stop. From Dan to Beersheba 70,000 people died. 16The angel raised his arm over Jerusalem and was ready to destroy it, but the Lord felt very sorry about the bad things that had happened. He said to the angel who destroyed the people, \u201cThat\u2019s enough! Put down your arm.\u201d The Lord\u2019s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. David Buys Araunah\u2019s Threshing Floor 17When he saw the angel who killed the people, David spoke to the Lord. David said, \u201cI sinned! I did wrong! And these people only did what I told them\u2014they only followed me like sheep. They did nothing wrong. Please let your punishment be against me and my father\u2019s family.\u201d 18That day Gad came to David and said, \u201cGo and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.\u201d 19So David did what Gad told him to. David did what the Lord wanted and went to see Araunah. 20Araunah looked and saw King David and his officers coming to him. Araunah went out and bowed his face to the ground. 21He said, \u201cWhy has my lord and king come to me?\u201d David answered, \u201cI came to buy the threshing floor from you. Then I can build an altar to the Lord. Then the disease will stop.\u201d 22Araunah said to David, \u201cMy lord and king, you can take anything you want for a sacrifice. Here are some oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing boards and the yokes for the wood. 23O King, I give everything to you!\u201d Araunah also said to the king, \u201cMay the Lord your God be pleased with you.\u201d 24But the king said to Araunah, \u201cNo! I must pay you for everything. I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.\u201d So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for 50 shekels of silver. 25Then David built an altar to the Lord there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. The Lord answered his prayer for the country. He stopped the disease in Israel. Psalms 68:19 We praise you, Lord God! You treat us with kindness day after day, and you rescue us. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1BWOHByWkdWWUJVOVpkQ1lVQmotNUdNT2w4UXxBQ3Jtc0tsUG02bGhFWG5DQ1R0WnJOZTQwQ1BXWmw2eG5IRGlRY1lpN3hNc1U4WHozXzltQlZGMzZSdUM0bE5hT3NORlhMRHJpS3dNbTVVczI0ZzU3ang4eG1fb0VCTFBvME9YcERDZUJEMWJFanVxd3hISko2OA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=JcYTN678oDk\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 Samuel 24 David Decides to Count His Army 1The Lord was angry with Israel again.
