1Samuel:5:8-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them ,
and said ,
What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel ?
And they answered ,
Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath .
And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither .
*
And it was so ,
that ,
after they had carried it about ,
the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction :
and he smote the men of the city ,
both small and great ,
and they had emerods in their secret parts .
*
Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron .
And it came to pass ,
as the ark of God came to Ekron ,
that the Ekronites cried out ,
saying ,
They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us ,
to slay us and our people .
*
So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines ,
and said ,
Send away the ark of the God of Israel ,
and let it go again to his own place ,
that it slay us not ,
and our people :
for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city ;
the hand of God was very heavy there .
*
And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods :
and the cry of the city went up to heaven .
