1 Samuel 4:7-9

7the Philistines were afraid, for they said, "A god has come into the camp." And they said, "Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

8Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with every sort of plague in the wilderness.

9Take courage, and be men, O Philistines, lest you become slaves to the Hebrews as they have been to you; be men and fight."
