1CH 21:17

17 And David said unto God, [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 thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that [they] should be plagued.
