9 And the LORD {YHWH} instructed Gad (troop), David’s (beloved) seer, And the LORD spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, The LORD said to Gad, David’s seer,
10 “Go and tell David (beloved) that this is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’” “Go and say to David, ‘Thus says the LORD, Three things I offer you; choose one of them, that I may do it to you.’” “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’”
11 So Gad (troop) went and said to David (beloved), “This is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘You must choose So Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Choose what you will: So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Take your choice:
12 between three years of famine, three months of being swept away [of fleeing] before your enemies and overtaken by their swords, or three days of the sword of the LORD {YHWH}—days of plague upon the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel (he wrestles with God).’ Now then, decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.” either three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, pestilence on the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me.” three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD—days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me.”
13 David (beloved) answered Gad (troop), “I am deeply distressed. Please, let me fall into the hand of the LORD {YHWH}, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.” Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for his mercy is very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.” David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”
