II Samuel 24:16 - 17 "When the angel extended his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD renounced further punishment and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Stay your hand!” The angel of the LORD was then by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.   When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “I alone am guilty, I alone have sinned.
