and the Lord said to Moses,
“Why have you come, my lord the king?” Araunah asked. David replied, “I have come to buy your threshing floor and to build an altar to the Lord there, so that he will stop the plague.”
Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins and did not destroy them all. Many times he held back his anger and did not unleash his fury!
Moses and Aaron came and stood in front of the Tabernacle,
“Get away from all these people so that I can instantly destroy them!” But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground.
