1 Samuel 5:8-10

8So they sent and 1gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” And they said, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around.

9After they had brought it around, 2the hand of the Lord was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that 3tumors broke out on them.

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 4us, to kill 5us and 6our people.”
