1 Samuel 4:3-5

3When the troopsH5971 returnedH935 toH413 the campH4264, the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 askedH559, “WhyH4100 has the LORDH3068 brought defeat on usH5062 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430 todayH3117? Let us bringH3947H413 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 from ShilohH7887, so that it may goH9351 with usH7130 to save usH3467 from the handH3709 of our enemiesH341.”

4So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 men to ShilohH7887, and they broughtH5375 backH8033 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, who sits enthronedH3427 between the cherubimH3742. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were thereH8033 withH5973 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.

5WhenH1961 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 enteredH935H413 the campH4264, allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 raisedH1419 such a greatH8643 shoutH7321 that the groundH776 shookH1949.
