13 |I'm in a desperate situation,| David told Gad. |Please let me fall into the LORD's hands because he is extremely merciful. But don't let me fall into human hands.| 14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and 70,000 Israelites died. 15 God also sent a Messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, but as he was destroying it, the LORD reconsidered and changed his mind about the disaster. |Enough!| he said to the destroying Messenger. |Put down your weapon.| The Messenger of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1 Chronicles 21:13-15, God's Word Translation.
