1 Samuel 5:8-10
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
8 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, ‘What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?’ The inhabitants of Gath replied, ‘Let the ark of God be moved on to us.’[a] So they moved the ark of the God of Israel to Gath.[b] 9 But after they had brought it to Gath,[c] the hand of the Lord was against the city, causing a very great panic; he struck the inhabitants of the city, both young and old, so that tumours broke out on them. 10 So they sent the ark of the God of Israel[d] to Ekron. But when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, ‘Why[e] have they brought across to us[f] the ark of the God of Israel to kill us[g] and our[h] people?’
