1 Samuel 4:3-4

And when the people
<05971>
were come
<0935> (8799)
into the camp
<04264>_,
the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>
smitten
<05062> (8804)
us to day
<03117>
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_?
Let us fetch
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
out of Shiloh
<07887>
unto us, that, when it cometh
<0935> (8799)
among
<07130>
us, it may save
<03467> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03709>
of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{fetch: Heb. take unto us}
So the people
<05971>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Shiloh
<07887>_,
that they might bring
<05375> (8799)
from thence the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
[between] the cherubims
<03742>_:
and the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
[were] there with the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>_.

1 Samuel 4:10-11

And the Philistines
<06430>
fought
<03898> (8735)_,
and Israel
<03478>
was smitten
<05062> (8735)_,
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
every man
<0376>
into his tent
<0168>_:
and there was a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_;
for there fell
<05307> (8799)
of Israel
<03478>
thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<07273>_.
And the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8738)_;
and the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
were slain
<04191> (8804)_.
{were slain: Heb. died}

1 Samuel 4:22--6:21

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
The glory
<03519>
is departed
<01540> (8804)
from Israel
<03478>_:
for the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
is taken
<03947> (8738)_.
And the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it from Ebenezer
<072>
unto Ashdod
<0795>_.
When the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
they brought
<0935> (8686)
it into the house
<01004>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<03322> (8686)
it by
<0681>
Dagon
<01712>_.
And when they of Ashdod
<0796>
arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the earth
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<07725> (0)
him in his place
<04725>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
And when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>
morning
<01242>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the ground
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the head
<07218>
of Dagon
<01712>
and both
<08147>
the palms
<03709>
of his hands
<03027>
[were] cut off
<03772> (8803)
upon the threshold
<04670>_;
only [the stump of] Dagon
<01712>
was left
<07604> (8738)
to him. {the stump...: or, the fishy part}
Therefore neither the priests
<03548>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
nor any that come
<0935> (8802)
into Dagon's
<01712>
house
<01004>_,
tread
<01869> (8799)
on the threshold
<04670>
of Dagon
<01712>
in Ashdod
<0795>
unto this day
<03117>_.
But the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was heavy
<03513> (8799)
upon them of Ashdod
<0796>_,
and he destroyed
<08074> (8686)
them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
[even] Ashdod
<0795>
and the coasts
<01366>
thereof.
And when the men
<0582>
of Ashdod
<0795>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that [it was] so, they said
<0559> (8804)_,
The ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
shall not abide
<03427> (8799)
with us: for his hand
<03027>
is sore
<07185> (8804)
upon us, and upon Dagon
<01712>
our god
<0430>_.
They sent
<07971> (8799)
therefore and gathered
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall we do
<06213> (8799)
with the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Let the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
be carried about
<05437> (8735)
unto Gath
<01661>_.
And they carried
<05437> (0)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
about
<05437> (8686)
[thither].
And it was [so], that, after
<0310>
they had carried it about
<05437> (8689)_,
the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was against the city
<05892>
with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
destruction
<04103>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_,
and they had emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>
in their secret parts
<08368> (8735)_.
Therefore they sent
<07971> (8762)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
to Ekron
<06138>_.
And it came to pass, as the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8800)
to Ekron
<06138>_,
that the Ekronites
<06139>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
They have brought about
<05437> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
to us, to slay
<04191> (8687)
us and our people
<05971>_.
{us, to...: Heb. me to slay me and my}
So they sent
<07971> (8799)
and gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send away
<07971> (8761)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and let it go again
<07725> (8799)
to his own place
<04725>_,
that it slay
<04191> (8686)
us not, and our people
<05971>_:
for there was a deadly
<04194>
destruction
<04103>
throughout all the city
<05892>_;
the hand
<03027>
of God
<0430>
was very
<03966>
heavy
<03513> (8804)
there. {us not...: Heb. me not, and my}
And the men
<0582>
that died
<04191> (8804)
not were smitten
<05221> (8717)
with the emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_:
and the cry
<07775>
of the city
<05892>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_.
And the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
was in the country
<07704>
of the Philistines
<06430>
seven
<07651>
months
<02320>_.
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>_.
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.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_:
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)_.
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}
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>_:
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>_.
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>_.
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].
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_;
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}
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>_.
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
