1 Samuel 6:12-18
12Now the cowsH6510 wentH3474 straightH3474 in the 1directionH1870 of 2Beth-shemeshH1053; they wentH1980 on 3the sameH259 roadH4546, bellowingH1600 as they wentH1980, and did not turnH5493 offH5493 to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040. And the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 followedH1980H310 them to the borderH1366 of Beth-shemeshH1053.
13Now the people of Beth-shemeshH1053 were gatheringH7114 inH7114 their wheatH2406 harvestH7105 in the valleyH6010, and they raisedH5375 their eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the arkH727, and rejoicedH8055 at seeingH7200 it. 14And the cartH5699 cameH935 into the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091 the Beth-shemiteH1030 and stoppedH5975 thereH8033 where thereH8033 was a largeH1419 stoneH68; and they splitH1234 the woodH6086 of the cartH5699 and 4offeredH5927 the cowsH6510 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068. 15And 5the LevitesH3881 tookH3381 downH3381 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 and the saddlebagH712 that was with it, in whichH834 were the articlesH3627 of goldH2091, and putH7760 them on the largeH1419 stoneH68; and the menH376 of Beth-shemeshH1053 offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificedH2076 sacrificesH2077 that dayH3117 to the LordH3068. 16When the 6fiveH2568 governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 it, they returnedH7725 to EkronH6138 that dayH3117.
17Now 7theseH428 are the goldH2091 tumorsH2914 whichH834 the PhilistinesH6430 returnedH7725 as a guiltH817 offeringH817 to the LordH3068: oneH259 for AshdodH795, oneH259 for GazaH5804, oneH259 for AshkelonH831, oneH259 for GathH1661, and oneH259 for EkronH6138; 18and the goldH2091 miceH5909, corresponding to the numberH4557 of allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the PhilistinesH6430 belonging to the fiveH2568 governorsH5633, 8bothH4480 of fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 and of countryH6521 villagesH3724. 9The largeH1419 10stoneH68 on whichH834 they placedH5117 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 is a witness to thisH2088 dayH3117 in the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091 the Beth-shemiteH1030.
