2 Samuel 24:13

And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befal thee, whether there shall come upon thee [for] three years famine in thy land; or that thou shouldest flee three months before thine enemies, and they should pursue thee; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in thy land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
