1 Samuel 5:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 So they called all the Philistine rulers together(A) and asked, “What should we do with the ark of Israel’s God?”
“The ark of Israel’s God should be moved to Gath,” they replied. So the men of Ashdod moved the ark. 9 After they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against the city of Gath,(B) causing a great panic. He afflicted the men of the city, from the youngest to the oldest, with an outbreak of tumors.(C)
10 The Gittites then sent the ark of God to Ekron, but when it got there, the Ekronites cried out, “They’ve moved the ark of Israel’s God to us to kill us and our people!”[a]
