1 Samuel 6:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ The gold rats were to placate God for the other Philistine cities, both the fortified cities and the country villages controlled by the five capitals. (By the way, that large rock at Beth-shemesh can still be seen in the field of Joshua.) ¹⁹ But the Lord killed seventy of the men of Beth-shemesh because they looked into the Ark. And the people mourned because of the many people whom the Lord had killed.

²⁰ “Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God?” they cried out. “Where can we send the Ark from here?”
