1 Samuel 4:5-9

5As the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, 1all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded. 6When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” Then they understood that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp. 7The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” And they said, “2Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before. 8Woe to us! Who shall deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who smote the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness. 93Take courage and be men, O Philistines, or you will become slaves to the Hebrews, 4as they have been slaves to you; therefore, be men and fight.”
