In context
9Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10“Go and tell David: Thus says Yahweh — I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.” 11So Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: Choose for yourself — 12either three years of famine, or three months of being swept away before your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or three days of the sword of Yahweh — plague in the land, with the angel of Yahweh bringing destruction throughout all the territory of Israel. Now decide what answer I should bring to the one who sent me.” 13David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me fall into the hand of Yahweh, for his mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”
