1 Samuel 4:5-9

5When the Lord’s ark came into the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth rang with echoes.

6As the Philistines heard the noise, they asked, “What’s ⌞all⌟ this shouting in the Hebrew camp?” The Philistines found out that the Lord’s ark had come into the camp.

7Then they were frightened and said, “A god has come into ⌞their⌟ camp.” They also said, “Oh no! Nothing like this has ever happened before.

8We’re in trouble now! Who can save us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with every kind of plague in the desert.

9Be strong, Philistines, and act like men, or else you will serve the Hebrews as they served you. Act like men and fight.”
