I Chronicles 21:12-14 and 17

"'"Either three years of famine, or three months to be defeated by your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of the Lord--the plague in the land, with the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the territory of Israel." Now consider what answer I should take back to Him Who sent me.'"

"And David said to Gad, 'I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.'"

"So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell."

"And David said to God, 'Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, oh Lord my God, be against me and my father's house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.'"
