1 Chronicles 21:30
Thomson 1808
(Now he could not go before it to inquire of God, for that would not have accorded with the haste in which he was, on account of the sword of the angel of the Lord).
Brenton 1851
And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.

Καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο Δαυὶδ τοῦ πορευθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Θεόν, ὅτι οὐ κατέσπευσεν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ῥομφαίας ἀγγέλου Κυρίου.
