Parallel

2 Samuel 24:13

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befal thee, whether there shall come upon thee [for] three years famine in thy land; or that thou shouldest flee three months before thine enemies, and they should pursue thee; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in thy land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three (note: LXX (see also 1 Chronicles 21:12); Hebrew seven) years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
