Parallel
1 Chronicles 21:17
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς τὸν θεόν Οὐκ ἐγὼ εἶπα τοῦ ἀριθμῆσαι τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐγὼ εἰμι ὁ ἁμαρταών, κακοποιῶν ἐκακοποίησα· καὶ ταῦτα τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν ; Κύριε ὁ θεός, γενηθήτω ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ μὴ ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου εἰς ἀπώλειαν, Κύριε.
And David said to God, “Was it not I (note: Or I, the shepherd, see 2 Samuel 24:17 DSS and LXX.) who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house, but do not let this plague remain upon Your people.”
