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.
Escoge uno de tres castigos: ya sea tres años de hambre; o tres meses de ser derrotado por tus enemigos mientras sus ejércitos te persiguen; o tres días del juicio del SEÑOR, una plaga en la tierra, con el ángel del SEÑOR trayendo destrucción por todo Israel. Ahora piensa cuidadosamente qué respuesta debo llevar de vuelta al que me envió.
David debe elegir entre tres castigos divinos por haber hecho el censo del pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of 1 Chronicles 21, King David had ordered a census of Israel, which was seen as an act of pride and reliance on human strength rather than trusting in God's protection. As a result, God sent the prophet Gad to offer David three choices of punishment for this sin: three years of famine, three months of being pursued and defeated by enemies, or three days of pestilence sent by the Lord. This event underscores the accountability of leaders under God's covenant and reflects the cultural emphasis on divine judgment during the united monarchy of Israel.
