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.
