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!

18 L’ange de l’Éternel dit à Gad de parler à David, afin qu’il montât pour élever un autel à l’Éternel dans l’aire d’Ornan, le Jébusien.

19 David monta, selon la parole que Gad avait prononcée au nom de l’Éternel.
