1 Samuel 4:4-11
4So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 to ShilohH7887, that they might bringH5375 from there the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, who dwellethH3427 between the cherubimH3742: and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were there with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430. 5And when the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 into the campH4264, all IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 shookH1949. 6And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559, What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680? And they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 had comeH935 into the campH4264. 7And the PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372, for they saidH559, GodH430 hath comeH935 into the campH4264. And they saidH559, WoeH188 to us! for there hath not been such a thing beforeH865H8032.1 8WoeH188 to us! who shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of these mightyH117 GodsH430? these are the GodsH430 that smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with all the plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057. 9Be strongH2388, and acquitH1961 yourselves like menH582, O ye PhilistinesH6430, that ye may not be servantsH5647 to the HebrewsH5680, as they have beenH5647 to you: acquitH1961 yourselves like menH582, and fightH3898.2
10And the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898, and IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062, and they fledH5127 every manH376 into his tentH168: and there was a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347; for there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footmenH7273. 11And the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were slainH4191.3
