Noah Webster Bible
17
And David said to God (Elohim), Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God (Elohim), be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be afflicted.
