The king, however, overruled Joab and the leaders of the army, so they left the king's presence in order to register the people of Israel. (2 Samuel 24, 4)
Joab then reported to the king the number of people registered: in Israel, eight hundred thousand men fit for military service; in Judah, five hundred thousand. (2 Samuel 24, 9)
Afterward, however, David regretted having numbered the people, and said to the LORD: "I have sinned grievously in what I have done. But now, LORD, forgive the guilt of your servant, for I have been very foolish." (2 Samuel 24, 10)
When David rose in the morning, the LORD had spoken to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying: (2 Samuel 24, 11)
"Go and say to David, 'This is what the LORD says: I offer you three alternatives; choose one of them, and I will inflict it on you.'" (2 Samuel 24, 12)
Gad then went to David to inform him. He asked: "Do you want a three years' famine to come upon your land, or to flee from your enemy three months while he pursues you, or to have a three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and decide what I must reply to him who sent me." (2 Samuel 24, 13)
David answered Gad: "I am in very serious difficulty. Let us fall by the hand of God, for he is most merciful; but let me not fall by the hand of man." (2 Samuel 24, 14)
Thus David chose the pestilence. Now it was the time of the wheat harvest when the plague broke out among the people. (The LORD then sent a pestilence over Israel from morning until the time appointed, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beer-sheba died.) (2 Samuel 24, 15)
When David saw the angel who was striking the people, he said to the LORD: "It is I who have sinned; it is I, the shepherd, who have done wrong. But these are sheep; what have they done? Punish me and my kindred." (2 Samuel 24, 17)
On the same day Gad went to David and said to him, "Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite." (2 Samuel 24, 18)
Following Gad's bidding, David went up as the LORD had commanded. (2 Samuel 24, 19)
Now Araunah looked down and noticed the king and his servants coming toward him while he was threshing wheat. So he went out and paid homage to the king, with face to the ground. (2 Samuel 24, 20)
