2 Samuel 24:13-15
New King James Version
13 So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, “Shall (A)seven[a] 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.”
14 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, (B)for His mercies are great; but (C)do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
15 So (D)the Lord sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.
