Exegesis
Repetition of the divine name YHWH intensifies authority, especially in malʾāḵ YHWH {מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה | malʾāḵ Yə-hō-wāh} as divine executor. The formal version preserves Hebrew sequence for clarity, while the dynamic version reorders elements for natural flow.

In context — 1 Chronicles 21:12
If three years of famine, or if three months of devastation before your adversaries with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or if three days of the sword of the LORD and pestilence in the land with the angel of the LORD destroying across all the borders of Israel—now see what answer I shall return as a message to the one who sent me.
