1 Samuel 6:16-18

16When the 1five governors of the Philistines saw it, they returned to Ekron that day.

17Now 2these 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, 3both of fortified cities and of country villages. 4The large 5stone on which they placed the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
