1Samuel:6:7-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now therefore make a new cart ,
and take two milch kine ,
on which there hath come no yoke ,
and tie the kine to the cart ,
and bring their calves home from them :
*
And take the ark of the LORD ,
and lay it upon the cart ;
and put the jewels of gold ,
which ye return him for a trespass offering ,
in a coffer by the side thereof ;
and send it away ,
that it may go .
*
And see ,
if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh ,
then he hath done us this great evil :
but if not ,
then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us :
it was a chance that happened to us .
*
And the men did so ;
and took two milch kine ,
and tied them to the cart ,
and shut up their calves at home :
*
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart ,
and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods .
*
And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh ,
and went along the highway ,
lowing as they went ,
and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left ;
and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh .
