13 David said to Gad, |I am very upset! I prefer to be attacked by the LORD, for his mercy is very great; I do not want to be attacked by men!| 14 So the LORD sent a plague through Israel, and 70,000 Israelite men died. 15 God sent an angel to ravage Jerusalem. As he was doing so, the LORD watched and relented from his judgment. He told the angel who was destroying, |That's enough! Stop now!| Now the LORD's angel was standing near the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1 Chronicles 21:13-15, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
