2 Samuel 24

1 Yahweh's anger burned hot against Israel again. He moved David's heart to do something that would hurt them. Yahweh said to him, "Go count every person in Israel and Judah."

15 So Yahweh sent a sickness across Israel from that morning until the time he set. Seventy thousand people died. From Dan all the way to Beersheba.

18 That same day, Gad came to David. He said, "Go up the hill. Build an altar to Yahweh on the grain floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
