“‘ Or suppose a leader sins without meaning to. He disobeys any of the commands of the Lord his God.

“ When a leader sins, doing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,

大卫在位年间有饥荒，一连三年，大卫求问耶和华，耶和华说：“扫罗和他家犯了流人血之罪，因为他杀死了基遍人。”大卫王召了基遍人来，跟他们说话。基遍人不是以色列人，而是亚摩利人中所剩下的人。以色列人曾向他们起誓，扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人大发热心，追杀他们，为了要消灭他们。大卫对基遍人说：“我当为你们做什么呢？要用什么赎这罪，使你们为耶和华的产业祝福呢？”

以色列人中的二百五十个领袖，就是有名望、从会众中选出来的人，在摩西面前一同起来，

摩西和以利亚撒祭司，以及会众中所有的领袖，都出营迎接他们。

你也要从百姓中选出有才能的人，敬畏上帝、诚实可靠、恨恶不义之财的人，派他们作千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长、十夫长来管理百姓。

大卫数点百姓以后，心中自责。大卫向耶和华说：“我做这事大大有罪了。耶和华啊，现在求你除掉仆人的罪孽，因我所做的非常愚昧。”大卫早晨起来，耶和华的话临到迦得先知，就是大卫的先见，说：“你去告诉大卫：‘耶和华如此说：我向你提出三样，随你选择一样，我好降给你。’”于是迦得来到大卫那里告诉他，问他：“你要国中有七年的饥荒呢？或是你在敌人面前逃跑，被追赶三个月呢？或是在你国中有三日的瘟疫呢？现在你要考虑思量，我怎样去回覆那差我来的。”大卫对迦得说：“我很为难。我们宁愿落在耶和华的手里，因为他有丰盛的怜悯；我不愿落在人的手里。”于是，耶和华降瘟疫给以色列。自早晨到所定的时候，从但直到别是巴，百姓中死了七万人。天使向耶路撒冷伸手要毁灭这城的时候，耶和华改变心意，不降那灾难，就对那在百姓中施行毁灭的天使说：“够了！住手吧！”耶和华的使者正在耶布斯人亚劳拿的禾场那里。大卫看见那在百姓中施行毁灭的天使，就向耶和华说：“看哪，我犯了罪，行了恶，但这群羊做了什么呢？愿你的手攻击我和我的父家。”
