2 Samuel 24
Schlachter-Bibel 1951
1Und der Zorn des HERRN ergrimmte abermals wider Israel, und er reizte David wider sie, indem er sprach: Gehe hin, zähle Israel und Juda!
2Und der König sprach zu Joab, seinem Feldhauptmann, der bei ihm war: Durchziehe doch alle Stämme Israels, von Dan bis Beerseba, und mustere das Volk, damit ich ihre Zahl erfahre!
3Joab sprach zum König: Der HERR, dein Gott, füge zu diesem Volke, wie es jetzt ist, noch hundertmal mehr hinzu, daß mein Herr und König es mit seinen eigenen Augen sehe; aber warum verlangt mein Herr und König so etwas?
4Doch des Königs Wort blieb fest wider Joab und die Heerführer; so zogen Joab und die Heerführer von dem Könige aus, um das Volk Israel zu zählen.
5Und sie gingen über den Jordan und lagerten sich zu Aroer, zur Rechten der Stadt, die mitten im Tale von Gad liegt und gegen Jaeser.
6Und sie kamen gen Gilead und in die Gegend von Tahtim-Hodsi, und als sie gen Dan-Jaan kamen, wandten sie sich nach Zidon.
7Und sie kamen zu der Festung Tyrus und allen Städten der Heviter und Kanaaniter und zogen alsdann ins Mittagsland von Juda, gen Beerseba.
8Also durchzogen sie das ganze Land und kamen nach neun Monaten und zwanzig Tagen gen Jerusalem.
9Und Joab gab dem König die Zahl des gemusterten Volkes an. Und es waren in Israel achthunderttausend Kriegsleute, die das Schwert zogen, und in Juda fünfhunderttausend Mann.
10Aber nachdem David das Volk hatte zählen lassen, schlug ihm das Herz. Und David sprach zum HERRN: Ich habe mich schwer versündigt mit dem, was ich getan! Nun aber, o HERR, vergib doch die Missetat deines Knechtes; denn ich habe sehr töricht gehandelt!
11Und als David am Morgen aufstand, erging das Wort des HERRN an den Propheten Gad, den Seher Davids, also:
12Gehe hin und sage zu David: So spricht der HERR: Dreierlei lege ich dir vor; erwähle dir deren eines, daß ich es dir antue!
13Gad kam zu David, zeigte es ihm an und sprach: Willst du, daß sieben Jahre Hungersnot in dein Land komme, oder daß du drei Monate lang vor deinen Widersachern fliehen müssest und sie dich verfolgen, oder daß drei Tage lang Pestilenz in deinem Lande sei? So besinne dich nun und siehe, was ich dem antworten soll, der mich gesandt hat!
14David sprach zu Gad: Mir ist sehr angst! Doch laß uns in die Hand des HERRN fallen, denn seine Barmherzigkeit ist groß; aber in der Menschen Hand will ich nicht fallen!
15Da ließ der HERR Pestilenz in Israel kommen vom Morgen an bis zur bestimmten Zeit, daß von dem Volk, von Dan bis Beerseba, siebzigtausend Mann starben.
16Als aber der Engel seine Hand über Jerusalem ausstreckte, um sie zu verderben, ließ sich der HERR des Übels gereuen, und er sprach zu dem Engel, dem Verderber unter dem Volke: Es ist genug! Laß nun deine Hand ab! Der Engel des HERRN aber war bei der Tenne Aravnas, des Jebusiters.
17Als David den Engel sah, der das Volk schlug, sprach er zum HERRN: Siehe, ich habe gesündigt, ich habe die Missetat begangen! Was haben aber diese Schafe getan? Laß doch deine Hand wider mich und wider meines Vaters Haus gerichtet sein!
18Und Gad kam zu David an jenem Tage und sprach zu ihm: Gehe hinauf und errichte dem HERRN einen Altar in der Tenne Aravnas, des Jebusiters!
19Also ging David hinauf, wie Gad gesagt und der HERR geboten hatte.
20Und als Aravna aufblickte, sah er den König mit seinen Knechten zu ihm herüberkommen. Da ging Aravna hinaus und verneigte sich vor dem König mit dem Angesicht zur Erde;
21und Aravna sprach: Warum kommt mein Herr und König zu seinem Knechte? David sprach: Die Tenne von dir zu kaufen, um dem HERRN einen Altar zu bauen, damit die Plage vom Volke abgewandt werde!
22Aber Aravna sprach zu David: Mein Herr und König nehme sie und opfere, was ihn gut dünkt! Siehe, da ist ein Rind zum Brandopfer, die Dreschwagen aber und das Geschirr des Ochsen mögen als Brennholz dienen!
23Alles dieses schenkt Aravna, o König, dem Könige! Und Aravna sprach zum König: Der HERR, dein Gott, sei dir gnädig!
24Aber der König sprach zu Aravna: Nicht also, sondern ich will es dir abkaufen gemäß seinem Werte; denn ich will dem HERRN, meinem Gott, kein Brandopfer darbringen, das mich nichts kostet. Also kaufte David die Tenne und die Rinder um fünfzig Schekel Silber.
25Und David baute dem HERRN daselbst einen Altar und opferte Brandopfer und Dankopfer. Und der HERR ließ sich für das Land erbitten, und die Plage wurde von Israel abgewehrt.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y VOLVIÓ el furor de Jehová á encenderse contra Israel, é incitó á David contra ellos á que dijese: Ve, cuenta á Israel y á Judá.
2Y dijo el rey á Joab, general del ejército que tenía consigo: Rodea todas las tribus de Israel, desde Dan hasta Beer-seba, y contad el pueblo, para que yo sepa el número de la gente.
3Y Joab respondió al rey: Añada Jehová tu Dios al pueblo cien veces tanto como son, y que lo vea mi señor el rey; mas ¿para qué quiere esto mi señor el rey?
4Empero la palabra del rey pudo más que Joab, y que los capitanes del ejército. Salió pues Joab, con los capitanes del ejército, de delante del rey, para contar el pueblo de Israel.
5Y pasando el Jordán asentaron en Aroer, á la mano derecha de la ciudad que está en medio de la arroyada de Gad y junto á Jazer.
6Después vinieron á Galaad, y á la tierra baja de Absi: y de allí vinieron á Dan-jaán y alrededor de Sidón.
7Y vinieron luego á la fortaleza de Tiro, y á todas las ciudades de los Heveos y de los Cananeos; y salieron al mediodía de Judá, á Beer-seba.
8Y después que hubieron andado toda la tierra, volvieron á Jerusalem al cabo de nueve meses y veinte días.
9Y Joab dió la cuenta del número del pueblo al rey; y fueron los de Israel ochocientos mil hombres fuertes que sacaban espada; y de los de Judá quinientos mil hombres.
10Y después que David hubo contado el pueblo, punzóle su corazón; y dijo David á Jehová: Yo he pecado gravemente por haber hecho esto; mas ahora, oh Jehová, ruégote que quites el pecado de tu siervo, porque yo he obrado muy neciamente.
11Y por la mañana, cuando David se hubo levantado, fué palabra de Jehová á Gad profeta, vidente de David, diciendo:
12Ve, y di á David: Así ha dicho Jehová: Tres cosas te ofrezco: tú te escogerás una de ellas, la cual yo haga.
13Vino pues Gad á David, é intimóle, y díjole: ¿Quieres que te vengan siete años de hambre en tu tierra? ¿ó que huyas tres meses delante de tus enemigos, y que ellos te persigan? ¿ó que tres días haya pestilencia en tu tierra? Piensa ahora, y mira qué responderé al que me ha enviado.
14Entonces David dijo á Gad: En grande angustia estoy: ruego que caiga en la mano de Jehová, porque sus miseraciones son muchas, y que no caiga yo en manos de hombres.
15Y envió Jehová pestilencia á Israel desde la mañana hasta el tiempo señalado: y murieron del pueblo, desde Dan hasta Beer-seba, setenta mil hombres.
16Y como el ángel extendió su mano sobre Jerusalem para destruirla, Jehová se arrepintió de aquel mal, y dijo al ángel que destruía el pueblo: Basta ahora; detén tu mano. Entonces el ángel de Jehová estaba junto á la era de Arauna Jebuseo.
17Y David dijo á Jehová, cuando vió al ángel que hería al pueblo: Yo pequé, yo hice la maldad: ¿qué hicieron estas ovejas? Ruégote que tu mano se torne contra mí, y contra la casa de mi padre.
18Y Gad vino á David aquel día, y díjole: Sube, y haz un altar á Jehová en la era de Arauna Jebuseo.
19Y subió David, conforme al dicho de Gad, que Jehová le había mandado.
20Y mirando Arauna, vió al rey y á sus siervos que pasaban á él. Saliendo entonces Arauna, inclinóse delante del rey hacia tierra.
21Y Arauna dijo: ¿Por qué viene mi señor el rey á su siervo? Y David respondió: Para comprar de ti la era, para edificar altar á Jehová, á fin de que la mortandad cese del pueblo.
22Y Arauna dijo á David: Tome y sacrifique mi señor el rey lo que bien le pareciere; he aquí bueyes para el holocausto; y trillos y otros pertrechos de bueyes para leña:
23Todo lo da como un rey Arauna al rey. Luego dijo Arauna al rey: Jehová tu Dios te sea propicio.
24Y el rey dijo á Arauna: No, sino por precio te lo compraré; porque no ofreceré á Jehová mi Dios holocaustos por nada. Entonces David compró la era y los bueyes por cincuenta siclos de plata.
25Y edificó allí David un altar á Jehová, y sacrificó holocaustos y pacíficos; y Jehová se aplacó con la tierra, y cesó la plaga de Israel.
King James Version
1And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
3And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4Notwithstanding the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
6Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
7And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer-sheba.
8So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
13So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
16And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
17And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.
18And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
20And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
21And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
22And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
23All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
24And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

1Again the LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
2The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”
3Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”
4Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
5They passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;
6then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,
7and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
8So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
11When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12“Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
13So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.”
14David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
15So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.
16When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”
18Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
20Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
21Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
22Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
23All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
