1 Samuel 5:9-12
9But afterH310 they had movedH5437 the ark to Gath, the LORD’sH3068 handH3027 was alsoH1961 against that cityH5892, throwing it into great confusionH4103H1419H3966 and afflictingH5221 the menH582 of the cityH5892, both youngH6996 andH5704 oldH1419, with an outbreakH8368 of tumorsH6076.
10So they sentH7971 the arkH727 of GodH430 to EkronH6138H1961, but as itH727H430 arrivedH935, the EkronitesH6139H559 cried outH2199, “They have broughtH5437 usH413 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in order to kill usH4191 andH853 our peopleH5971!”
11Then the Ekronites called togetherH7971H622 allH3605 the rulersH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 and saidH559, “Send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. It must returnH7725 to its placeH4725, so that it will notH38081 killH4191 usH853 and our peopleH5971!”
ForH3588 a deadlyH4194 confusionH4103 had pervadedH1961H3605 the cityH5892; the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 upon itH8033. 12ThoseH582 whoH834 did notH3808 dieH4191 were afflictedH5221 with tumorsH6076, and the outcryH7775 of the cityH5892 went upH5927 to heavenH8064.
