ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૨૪:૧૭
અને જે દૂત લોકોને મારતો હતો તેને જોઈને દાઉદે ઈશ્વરને કહ્યું, “જો, મેં તો પાપ કર્યું છે તથા દુષ્ટ કામ પણ કર્યા છે. પણ આ ઘેટાંએ શું કર્યું છે? કૃપા કરી તમારો હાથ મારી વિરુદ્ધ તથા મારા પિતાના ઘરની વિરુદ્ધ કરો, ઘેટાંની વિરુદ્ધ નહિ.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल २४:१७
तो जब प्रजा का नाश करनेवाला दूत दाऊद को दिखाई पड़ा, तब उसने यहोवा से कहा, “देख, पाप तो मैं ही ने किया, और कुटिलता मैं ही ने की है; परन्तु इन भेड़ों ने क्या किया है? सो तेरा हाथ मेरे और मेरे पिता के घराने के विरुद्ध हो।”

In context

15So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.

16When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

17David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”

18Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

19David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
