1 Samuel 4:5-9

5As the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 cameH935 into the campH4264, 1allH3605 IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 resoundedH1949. 6When the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559, “WhatH4100 does the noiseH6963 of thisH2088 greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680 mean?” Then they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LordH3068 had comeH935 into the campH4264. 7The PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372, for they saidH559, “GodH430 has comeH935 into the campH4264.” And they saidH559, “2WoeH188 to us! For nothingH3808 like thisH2088 has happenedH1961 beforeH8543H8032. 8WoeH188 to us! WhoH4310 shall deliverH5337 us from the handH3027 of theseH428 mightyH117 godsH430? TheseH428 are the godsH430 who smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with allH3605 kinds of plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057. 93TakeH2388 courageH2388 and be menH376, O PhilistinesH6430, orH6435 you will becomeH5647 slavesH5647 to the HebrewsH5680, 4as they have beenH5647 slavesH5647 to you; therefore, be menH376 and fightH3898.”
