2 Samuel 24:12

Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three [things]; choose thee one of them, that I may [do it] unto thee.

Ver. 12. Go and say unto David.] Plain David, now. Once it was, Go tell my servant David, 2Sa 7:5 but now the case is altered. So when Israel had set up an idol, then God owneth them no longer; but fathereth them upon Moses. Exo 32:7

I offer thee three things.] But such as whichsoever thou choosest, demet et demetet numerum hunc ingentem Israelis, itaque sternet tuam superbiam, a it shall pull a crow with thee, and bring down thy pride.
