1 Samuel 5:8-12
8So they sentH7971 and 1gatheredH622 allH3605 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 to them and saidH559, “WhatH4100 shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478?” And they saidH559, “Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be broughtH5437 aroundH5437 to GathH1661.” And they broughtH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 around.
9AfterH310 they had broughtH5437 it aroundH5437, 2the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was against the cityH5892 with veryH3966 greatH1419 confusionH4103; and He smoteH5221 the menH376 of the cityH5892, bothH4480 youngH6996 and oldH1419, so that 3tumorsH6076 brokeH8368 out on them.
10So they sentH7971 the arkH727 of GodH430 to EkronH6138. And as the arkH727 of GodH430 cameH935 to EkronH6138 the EkronitesH6139 criedH2199 out, sayingH559, “They have broughtH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 aroundH5437 to 4us, to killH4191 5us and 6our peopleH5971.”
11They 7sentH7971 therefore and gatheredH622 allH3605 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 and saidH559, “SendH7971 awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and let it returnH7725 to its own placeH4725, soH3808 that it will not killH4191 8us and 9our peopleH5971.” For there was a deadlyH4194 confusionH4103 throughoutH3605 the cityH5892; 10the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 thereH8033.
12And the menH376 whoH834 did not dieH4191 were smittenH5221 with tumorsH6076 and 11the cryH7775 of the cityH5892 wentH5927 up to heavenH8064.
