1 Chronicles 21:12
between three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies and overtaken by their swords, or three days of the sword of the Lord—days of plague upon the land, with the angel of the Lord ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
Note Hebrew; LXX and Vulgate of fleeing; see 2 Samuel 24:13.
Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
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.’”
either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
