1 Samuel 5:8-9

8So the Philistine rulers met together. Ashdod's people asked them, ‘What should we do with the Covenant Box of Israel's God?’ The rulers answered, ‘Take it away to Gath.’ So the men took it to that city.

9After they had moved the Covenant Box to Gath, the Lord punished the people in that city too. He made them all very afraid. He caused tumours to grow on them, young people as well as old people.
