1 Chronicles 21:13 in Context — 1 Chronicles 21
11 Gad alla vers David, et lui dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel:
12 Accepte, ou trois années de famine, ou trois mois pendant lesquels tu seras détruit par tes adversaires et atteint par l’épée de tes ennemis, ou trois jours pendant lesquels l’épée de l’Éternel et la peste seront dans le pays et l’ange de l’Éternel portera la destruction dans tout le territoire d’Israël. Vois maintenant ce que je dois répondre à celui qui m’envoie.
13 David répondit à Gad: Je suis dans une grande angoisse! Oh! Que je tombe entre les mains de l’Éternel, car ses compassions sont immenses; mais que je ne tombe pas entre les mains des hommes!
14 L’Éternel envoya la peste en Israël, et il tomba soixante-dix mille hommes d’Israël.
15 Dieu envoya un ange à Jérusalem pour la détruire; et comme il la détruisait, l’Éternel regarda et se repentit de ce mal, et il dit à l’ange qui détruisait: Assez! Retire maintenant ta main. L’ange de l’Éternel se tenait près de l’aire d’Ornan, le Jébusien.
