The three things that Gad, David’s seer, tells David, and David’s answer

다윗의 선견자 갓이 고한 세가지와 다윗의 대답

1 Chronicles 21:9–13: the LORD speaks to Gad, David’s seer, saying, “Go and speak to David, saying, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’” So Gad comes to David and says to him, “The LORD says, ‘Take your choice: either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the LORD’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’” David says to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.” The Korean Revised Version closes the LORD’s words at 하셨나니 in 21:12 and gives the last words, 내가 무슨 말로 나를 보내신 이에게 대답할 것을 결정하소서 (decide by what word I shall answer him who sent me), as Gad’s own, where WEB’s inner quotation closes only after “him who sent me”.

    12either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the LORD’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”
