David~In the Midst of a Plague

Was there a plague similar to the Corona virus (COVID-19) three thousand years ago in Israel during the reign of King David?

In this installment of Ancestry. Jesus “David ~ In the Midst of a Plague”, we will deeply analyze how David’s sin of taking a census for his personal gain had abysmal effects on the Jewish people.

As a result of David’s sin, God acted upon the nation of Israel by sending a just punishment. Of interest is that He allowed David to choose between the punishments of times of pestilence, famine, or being pursued by his enemies.

Pestilence, (or plague) was David’s choice as judgment for his sin.

Interesting choice, as biblical scholars exegete the reason for David’s choice was because he knew that to be in the midst of a plague was to be in the hands of God.
