1 Samuel 4:7-9

7the Philistines were afraid. “A god has come into the camp,” they said. “Oh no! Nothing like this has happened before.

8We’re doomed! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

9Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men, and fight!”
