New King James Version

2 Samuel 24:11-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,

12. “Go and tell David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.” ’ ”

13. So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me.”
