1 Samuel 4:5-9

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

6On hearingH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, the PhilistinesH6430 askedH559, “What isH4100H6963 thisH2063 loudH1419 shoutingH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680?”

And when they realizedH3045 thatH3588 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 had enteredH935H413 the campH4264, 7the PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372. “The godsH430 have enteredH935H4131 their campH4264H559!” they saidH559. “WoeH188 to us, forH3588 nothingH3808 like thisH2063 has happenedH1961 beforeH865H8032. 8WoeH188 to us! WhoH4310 will deliver usH5337 from the handH3027 of theseH428 mightyH117 godsH430? TheseH428H1992 are the godsH430 who struckH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with all kindsH3605 of plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057. 9Take courageH2388 and beH1961 menH582, O PhilistinesH6430! OtherwiseH6435, you will serveH5647 the HebrewsH5680 just asH834 they servedH5647 you. Now beH1961 menH582 and fightH3898!”
