1 Samuel 6:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ These are the golden tumors, which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ash′kelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron; ¹⁸ also the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and unwalled villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of the Lord, is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-she′mesh.

The Ark at Kiriath-jearim

¹⁹ And he slew some of the men of Beth-she′mesh, because they looked into the ark of the Lord; he slew seventy men of them,^[a] and the people mourned because the Lord had made a great slaughter among the people.
