And it was told
<05046> (8714)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>_,

and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_.

So David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

and brought up
<05927> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

from the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

with gladness
<08057>_.

And Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Tekoah
<08620>_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

thence a wise
<02450>

woman
<0802>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner
<056> (8693)_,

and put on
<03847> (8798)

now mourning
<060>

apparel
<0899>_,

and anoint
<05480> (8799)

not thyself with oil
<08081>_,

but be as a woman
<0802>

that had a long
<07227>

time
<03117>

mourned
<056> (8690)

for the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

So Gad
<01410>

came
<0935> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Shall seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee in thy land
<0776>_?

or wilt thou flee
<05127> (8800)

three
<07969>

months
<02320>

before
<06440>

thine enemies
<06862>_,

while they pursue
<07291> (8802)

thee? or that there be three
<07969>

days
<03117>_'

pestilence
<01698>

in thy land
<0776>_?

now advise
<03045> (8798)_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

what answer
<01697>

I shall return
<07725> (8686)

to him that sent
<07971> (8802)

And when the angel
<04397>

stretched out
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

upon Jerusalem
<03389>

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

it, the LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8735)

him of the evil
<07451>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to the angel
<04397>

that destroyed
<07843> (8688)

the people
<05971>_,

It is enough
<07227>_:

stay
<07503> (8685)

now thine hand
<03027>_.

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

was by the threshingplace
<01637>

of Araunah
<0728>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.
