1 Samuel 6:14-18

14And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite and stopped there where there was a large stone; and they split the wood of the cart and 1offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord. 15And 2the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the saddlebag that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices that day to the Lord. 16When the 3five governors of the Philistines saw it, they returned to Ekron that day.

17Now 4these are the gold tumors which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, and one for Ekron; 18and the gold mice, corresponding to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five governors, 5both of fortified cities and of country villages. 6The large 7stone on which they placed the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
