1 Chronicles 21:12 in Context — 1 Chronicles 21
10 Vai, e fala a Davi, e dize-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Três coisas te proponho; escolhe de elas uma que eu faça contigo.
11 E vindo Gade a Davi, disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR:
12 Escolhe-te, ou três anos de fome; ou ser por três meses defeito diante de teus inimigos, e que a espada de teus adversários te alcance; ou por três dias a espada do SENHOR e pestilência na terra, e que o anjo do SENHOR destrua em todo o termo de Israel. Olha, pois, o que responderá ao que me enviou.
13 Então Davi disse a Gade: Estou em grande angústia: rogo que eu caia na mão do SENHOR; porque suas misericórdias são muitas em extremo, e que não caia eu em mãos de homens.
14 Assim o SENHOR deu pestilência em Israel, e caíram de Israel setenta mil homens.
