1 Samuel 6

6:1

And the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

was in the country
<07704>

of the Philistines
<06430>

seven
<07651>

months
<02320>_.

6:2

And the Philistines
<06430>

called
<07121> (8799)

for the priests
<03548>

and the diviners
<07080> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What shall we do
<06213> (8799)

to the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

tell
<03045> (8685)

us wherewith we shall send
<07971> (8762)

it to his place
<04725>_.

6:3

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

If ye send away
<07971> (8764)

the ark
<0727>

of the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

send
<07971> (8762)

it not empty
<07387>_;

but in any wise
<07725> (8687)

return
<07725> (8686)

him a trespass offering
<0817>_:

then ye shall be healed
<07495> (8735)_,

and it shall be known
<03045> (8738)

to you why his hand
<03027>

is not removed
<05493> (8799)

from you.

6:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they, What [shall be] the trespass offering
<0817>

which we shall return
<07725> (8686)

to him? They answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Five
<02568>

golden
<02091>

emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,

and five
<02568>

golden
<02091>

mice
<05909>_,

[according to] the number
<04557>

of the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

for one
<0259>

plague
<04046>

[was] on you all, and on your lords
<05633>_.

{you: Heb. them}

6:5

Wherefore ye shall make
<06213> (8804)

images
<06754>

of your emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,

and images
<06754>

of your mice
<05909>

that mar
<07843> (8688)

the land
<0776>_;

and ye shall give
<05414> (8804)

glory
<03519>

unto the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_:

peradventure he will lighten
<07043> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

from off you, and from off your gods
<0430>_,

and from off your land
<0776>_.

6:6

Wherefore then do ye harden
<03513> (8762)

your hearts
<03824>_,

as the Egyptians
<04714>

and Pharaoh
<06547>

hardened
<03513> (8765)

their hearts
<03820>_?

when he had wrought wonderfully
<05953> (8694)

among them, did they not let the people go
<07971> (8762)_,

and they departed
<03212> (8799)_?

{wonderfully: or, reproachfully} {the people: Heb. them}

6:7

Now therefore make
<06213> (8798)

a
<0259>

new
<02319>

cart
<05699>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

two
<08147>

milch
<05763> (8802)

kine
<06510>_,

on which there hath come
<05927> (8804)

no yoke
<05923>_,

and tie
<0631> (8804)

the kine
<06510>

to the cart
<05699>_,

and bring
<07725> (8689)

their calves
<01121>

home
<01004>

from them
<0310>_:

6:8

And take
<03947> (8804)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and lay
<05414> (8804)

it upon the cart
<05699>_;

and put
<07760> (8799)

the jewels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

which ye return
<07725> (8689)

him [for] a trespass offering
<0817>_,

in a coffer
<0712>

by the side
<06654>

thereof; and send it away
<07971> (8765)_,

that it may go
<01980> (8804)_.

6:9

And see
<07200> (8804)_,

if it goeth up
<05927> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of his own coast
<01366>

to Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

[then] he hath done
<06213> (8804)

us this great
<01419>

evil
<07451>_:

but if not, then we shall know
<03045> (8804)

that [it is] not his hand
<03027>

[that] smote
<05060> (8804)

us: it [was] a chance
<04745>

[that] happened to us
<01961> (8804)_.

{he: or, it}

6:10

And the men
<0582>

did so
<06213> (8799)_;

and took
<03947> (8799)

two
<08147>

milch
<05763> (8802)

kine
<06510>_,

and tied
<0631> (8799)

them to the cart
<05699>_,

and shut up
<03607> (8804)

their calves
<01121>

at home
<01004>_:

6:11

And they laid
<07760> (8799)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

upon the cart
<05699>_,

and the coffer
<0712>

with the mice
<05909>

of gold
<02091>

and the images
<06754>

of their emerods
<02914>_.

6:12

And the kine
<06510>

took the straight
<03474> (8799)

way
<01870>

to the way
<01870>

of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

[and] went along
<01980> (8804)

the highway
<04546> <0259>_,

lowing
<01600> (8800)

as they went
<01980> (8800)_,

and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)

[to] the right hand
<03225>

or [to] the left
<08040>_;

and the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went
<01980> (8802)

after
<0310>

them unto the border
<01366>

of Bethshemesh
<01053>_.

6:13

And [they of] Bethshemesh
<01053>

[were] reaping
<07114> (8802)

their wheat
<02406>

harvest
<07105>

in the valley
<06010>_:

and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the ark
<0727>_,

and rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

[it].

6:14

And the cart
<05699>

came
<0935> (8802)

into the field
<07704>

of Joshua
<03091>_,

a Bethshemite
<01030>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

there, where [there was] a great
<01419>

stone
<068>_:

and they clave
<01234> (8762)

the wood
<06086>

of the cart
<05699>_,

and offered
<05927> (8689)

the kine
<06510>

a burnt offering
<05930>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

6:15

And the Levites
<03881>

took down
<03381> (8689)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the coffer
<0712>

that [was] with it, wherein the jewels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>

[were], and put
<07760> (8799)

[them] on the great
<01419>

stone
<068>_:

and the men
<0582>

of Bethshemesh
<01053>

offered
<05927> (8689)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

sacrifices
<02077>

the same day
<03117>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

6:16

And when the five
<02568>

lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

had seen
<07200> (8804)

[it], they returned
<07725> (8799)

to Ekron
<06138>

the same day
<03117>_.

6:17

And these [are] the golden
<02091>

emerods
<02914>

which the Philistines
<06430>

returned
<07725> (8689)

[for] a trespass offering
<0817>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

for Ashdod
<0795>

one
<0259>_,

for Gaza
<05804>

one
<0259>_,

for Askelon
<0831>

one
<0259>_,

for Gath
<01661>

one
<0259>_,

for Ekron
<06138>

one
<0259>_;

6:18

And the golden
<02091>

mice
<05909>_,

[according to] the number
<04557>

of all the cities
<05892>

of the Philistines
<06430>

[belonging] to the five
<02568>

lords
<05633>_,

[both] of fenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_,

and of country
<06521>

villages
<03724>_,

even unto the great
<01419>

[stone of] Abel
<059>_,

whereon they set down
<03240> (8689)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

[which stone remaineth] unto this day
<03117>

in the field
<07704>

of Joshua
<03091>_,

the Bethshemite
<01030>_.

{great...: or, great stone}

6:19

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

the men
<0376>

of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

because they had looked
<07200> (8804)

into the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

even he smote
<05221> (8686)

of the people
<05971>

fifty
<02572>

thousand
<0505>

and threescore and ten
<07657>

men
<0582>_:

and the people
<05971>

lamented
<056> (8691)_,

because the LORD
<03068>

had smitten
<05221> (8689)

[many] of the people
<05971>

with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

6:20

And the men
<0582>

of Bethshemesh
<01053>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who is able
<03201> (8799)

to stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

this holy
<06918>

LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_?

and to whom shall he go up
<05927> (8799)

from us?

6:21

And they sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The Philistines
<06430>

have brought again
<07725> (8689)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

come ye down
<03381> (8798)_,

[and] fetch it up
<05927> (8685)

to you.
