1 Chronicles 21:14-17 King James Version (KJV)
14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORDstood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
1 Chronicles 21:14-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and 70,000 Israelite men died.15 Then God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but when the angel was about to destroy the city, the LORD looked, relented concerning the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough, withdraw your hand now!” The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 When David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell down with their faces to the ground.17 David said to God, “Wasn’t I the one who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? My LORD God, please let Your hand be against me and against my father’s family, but don’t let the plague be against Your people.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
14 So the Lord pours out His judgment. David relying his numbers in the army was now useless if God could just have 70000 die that quick but with God he has power to win not with the numbers of men, we have power in the Holy Spirit.
15 The Lord showed mercy by taking the angel away. This threshing floor was a place that God had an accouter with David was this was special.
16 They were already repented this is why God gave David a chose now they are looking for mercy instead of receiving justice. Sack cloths were used during times of mourning they were common during times of fasting and death and extreme grief. Do we seek God’s mercy or do we just take it for granted?
17 So David is being a good shepherd knowing that the sheep the people of Israel should not suffer for his wrong doing we often times blame others instead of taking the blame, David was seeing the judgment of God and how bad it was and decided to take it on himself because he was the one who sinned this is a brave act but he is also relying on God’s promises about his family being the kingdom but this also could be dangerous what he is doing because God’s hand could be against the kings of Israel.
