1 Samuel 5:8-10

Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ So they sent and ^(A)gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” And they said, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around. ⁹ Now it happened after they had brought it around, that ^(B)the hand of Yahweh was against the city with very great confusion; and He struck the men of the city, both young and old, so that ^(C)tumors broke out on them. ¹⁰ So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to ^[a]us, to put ^[b]us and ^[c]our people to death.”
