1 Samuel 6:14-18
14The cartH5699 cameH935 toH413 the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091 of Beth-shemeshH1030 and stoppedH5975 thereH8033 near a largeH1419 rockH68. The people chopped upH1234 the cartH5699 and offeredH5927 the cowsH6510 as a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068. 15And the LevitesH3881 took downH3381 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 andH853 the chestH712 containingH834H854 the goldH2091 objectsH3627, and they placed themH7760 onH413 the largeH1419 rockH68. ThatH1931 dayH3117 the menH582 of Beth-shemeshH1053 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and madeH2076 sacrificesH2077 to the LORDH3068.
16And when the fiveH2568 rulersH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 this, they returnedH7725 to EkronH6138 that sameH1931 dayH3117.
As a guilt offeringH817 to the LORDH3068, the PhilistinesH6430 had sent backH7725 oneH259 goldH2091 tumorH2914 for each city: AshdodH795, GazaH5804H259, AshkelonH831H259, GathH1661H259, and EkronH6138H259. 18The number of goldH2091 ratsH5909 also corresponded to the numberH4557H3605 of PhilistineH6430 citiesH5892 belonging to the fiveH2568 rulersH5633—the fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 andH5704 their outlyingH6521H5704 villagesH3724. And the largeH1419 rockH591 onH5921 whichH834 they placedH5117 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 stands toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117 in the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091 of Beth-shemeshH1030.
