1 Chronicles 21:15 VOICE

[15] God also sent a heavenly messenger to destroy Jerusalem; but as the messenger was poised to ruin it, the Eternal saw the damage caused by the plague and grieved over the calamity. He told the messenger, "The pestilence is enough punishment; stand down." The Eternal's messenger stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite when the True God stopped him.
