“So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee”
“So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Take which thou wilt: ”
“Gad went to David and told him,“This is what the LORD says:‘Pick one of these:”
“And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:”
“So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:”

David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
Yahweh spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
"Go and speak to David, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Take your choice:
either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.'"
David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
