1 Samuel 6:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 (A)These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron; 18 and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, (B)both of fortified cities and of country villages. (C)The large [a]stone on which they set the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
19 (D)He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.
