9 And David arose early in the morning, and the word of the LORD came to Gad, the prophet, saying, 10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus says the LORD: I offer you three disasters; choose one of them, that I may do it to you. 11 So Gad the prophet came to David and said to him, Thus says the LORD: Choose for yourself 12 Either three years of famine in the land or three months to be defeated before your enemies while they shall pursue you and rule over you or else three days the sword of the LORD in Israel. Now therefore advise what answer you will give to him who sent me to you. 13 And David said .to Gad, I am in a great distress; let me be delivered into the hands of the LORD; for his mercies are very great; but let me not be delivered into the hand of men. 1 Chronicles 21:9-13, Lamsa Bible.
