1 Chronicles 21:15 in Context — 1 Chronicles 21

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.

16 David leva les yeux, et vit l’ange de l’Éternel se tenant entre la terre et le ciel et ayant à la main son épée nue tournée contre Jérusalem. Alors David et les anciens, couverts de sacs, tombèrent sur leur visage.

17 Et David dit à Dieu: N’est-ce pas moi qui ai ordonné le dénombrement du peuple? C’est moi qui ai péché et qui ai fait le mal; mais ces brebis, qu’ont-elles fait? Éternel, mon Dieu, que ta main soit donc sur moi et sur la maison de mon père, et qu’elle ne fasse point une plaie parmi ton peuple!
