1 Samuel 5:8-12
8They sentH7971 therefore and gatheredH622 all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 unto them, and saidH559, What shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478? And they answeredH559, Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be carried aboutH5437 unto GathH1661. And they carriedH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 aboutH5437 thither. 9And it was so, that, afterH310 they had carried it aboutH5437, the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 was against the cityH5892 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 destructionH4103: and he smoteH5221 the menH582 of the cityH5892, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, and they had emerodsH6076H2914 in their secret partsH8368.
10Therefore they sentH7971 the arkH727 of GodH430 to EkronH6138. And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of GodH430 cameH935 to EkronH6138, that the EkronitesH6139 cried outH2199, sayingH559, They have brought aboutH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to us, to slayH4191 us and our peopleH5971.1 11So they sentH7971 and gathered togetherH622 all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, and saidH559, Send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and let it go againH7725 to his own placeH4725, that it slayH4191 us not, and our peopleH5971: for there was a deadlyH4194 destructionH4103 throughout all the cityH5892; the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 there.2 12And the menH582 that diedH4191 not were smittenH5221 with the emerodsH6076H2914: and the cryH7775 of the cityH5892 went upH5927 to heavenH8064.
