1 Samuel 5:10-12

10So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to 1us, to kill 2us and 3our people.”

11They 4sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill 5us and 6our people.” For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; 7the hand of God was very heavy there.

12And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and 8the cry of the city went up to heaven.
