9 The LORD said to Gad, David’s seer,

1 Chronicles 21:10

10 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’ ”

1 Chronicles 21:11

11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Take your choice:

1 Chronicles 21:13

13 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”

1 Chronicles 21:16

16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.

1 Chronicles 21:17

17 David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd, have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? LORD my God, let your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.”

1 Chronicles 21:18

18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

1 Chronicles 21:19

19 So David went up in obedience to the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 21:21

21 Then David approached, and when Araunah looked and saw him, he left the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground.

1 Chronicles 21:22

22 David said to him, “Let me have the site of your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the LORD, that the plague on the people may be stopped. Sell it to me at the full price.”

1 Chronicles 21:23

23 Araunah said to David, “Take it! Let my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering. I will give all this.”

1 Chronicles 21:24

24 But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the LORD what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”

1 Chronicles 21:25

25 So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels of gold for the site.

1 Chronicles 21:26

26 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the LORD, and the LORD answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.

1 Chronicles 21:28

28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.

1 Chronicles 21:30

30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 22:1

1 Then David said, “The house of the LORD God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

1 Chronicles 22:2

2 So David gave orders to assemble the foreigners residing in Israel, and from among them he appointed stonecutters to prepare dressed stone for building the house of God.

1 Chronicles 22:3

3 He provided a large amount of iron to make nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, and more bronze than could be weighed.

1 Chronicles 22:5

5 David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD should be of great magnificence and fame and splendor in the sight of all the nations. Therefore I will make preparations for it.” So David made extensive preparations before his death.

1 Chronicles 22:7

7 David said to Solomon: “My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God.

1 Chronicles 25:1

32 Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.

1 Chronicles 27:18

18 over Judah: Elihu, a brother of David; over Issachar: Omri son of Michael;

1 Chronicles 27:23

23 David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less, because the LORD had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky.

1 Chronicles 27:32
