1 Samuel 6:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 As a restitution offering to the Lord, the Philistines had sent back one gold tumor for each city:(A) Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. 18 The number of gold mice also corresponded to the number of Philistine cities of the five rulers, the fortified cities and the outlying villages.(B) The large rock[a](C) on which the ark of the Lord was placed is in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh to this day.
19 God struck down the men of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the Lord.[b](D) He struck down 70 men out of 50,000 men.[c] The people mourned because the Lord struck them with a great slaughter.
