1 Samuel 5:7-12

Context
5:7 When the people 1  of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel should not remain with us, for he has attacked 2  both us and our god Dagon!”

5:8 So they assembled 3  all the leaders of the Philistines and asked, “What should we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They replied, “The ark of the God of Israel should be moved to Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.

5:9 But after it had been moved the Lord attacked 4  that city as well, causing a great deal of panic. He struck all the people of that city 5  with sores. 6  5:10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron.

But when the ark of God arrived at Ekron, the residents of Ekron cried out saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here 7  to kill our 8  people!” 5:11 So they assembled 9  all the leaders of the Philistines and said, “Get the ark of the God of Israel out of here! Let it go back to its own place so that it won’t kill us 10  and our 11  people!” The terror 12  of death was throughout the entire city; God was attacking them very severely there. 13  5:12 The people 14  who did not die were struck with sores; the city’s cry for help went all the way up to heaven.
