17 And David proceeded to say to Jehovah, when he saw the angel that was striking the people down, yes, he proceeded to say: “Here it is I that have sinned and it is I that have done wrong; but these sheep+—what have they done? Let your hand, please, come upon me+ and upon the house of my father.”

21 And Jehovah proceeded to send an angel+ and efface every valiant, mighty man+ and leader and chief in the camp of the king of As·syrʹi·a,+ so that he went back with shame of face to his own land. Later on he entered the house of his god* and there certain ones that had come out of his own inward parts felled him with the sword.+
