David's Punishment Fireback

David ordered a census of Israel and Judah, which displeased God because it reflected David’s pride and lack of trust. After realizing his sin, David was given a choice by the prophet Gad: seven years of famine, three months of fleeing from enemies, or three days of plague. David chose to fall into God’s hands, and a devastating plague struck the land, killing 70,000 people. As the angel of destruction approached Jerusalem, God had compassion and stopped the plague at the threshing floor of Araunah. David built an altar there, offered sacrifices, and God answered with fire from heaven, halting the disaster.

Color	Brown If an old or antique fireplace accessory has a nice brown patina of rust, we tend to preserve that; thus the items remains brown. In all other instances, our firebacks and andirons have been treated with stove polish and thereby have a black/greyish color. If you prefer to have a black-colored fireback or pair of andirons, we can deliver any brown fireback or pair of andirons in black. Yet, a black fireplace accessory cannot be delivered in brown. Realize that a fireback in use in a fireplace will get black in its central section regardless.
