    5For this reason, to this day, neither the priests of Dagon nor anyone who enters Dagon’s temple in Ashdod step on the threshold.

    6The LORD’s hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod. He devastated them and afflicted them with tumors, both in Ashdod and its surrounding territory.

    7When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The Ark of the God of Israel cannot stay with us, for His hand is harsh against us and our god Dagon.”

    8So they gathered all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “What should we do with the Ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the Ark of the God of Israel be moved to Gath.” So they moved the Ark of the God of Israel.

    9But after they had moved it, the hand of the LORD came against the city of Gath, causing great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, from the youngest to the oldest, with tumors.

    10Then they sent the Ark of God to Ekron. But when the Ark reached Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, saying, “They have brought the Ark of the God of Israel here to kill us and our people!”

    11So they sent word and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines and said, 'Send the Ark of the God of Israel away, let it return to its place so that it will not kill us and our people.' For there was a deadly panic throughout the whole city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

    9Watch to see: if it goes up along the road to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh, then it is the LORD who has brought this great disaster upon us. But if it does not, then we will know it was not his hand that struck us; it happened by chance.

    10The men did so. They took two nursing cows, hitched them to the cart, and confined their calves to the barn.

    11Then they placed the ark of the LORD on the cart, along with the box containing the gold mice and the models of their tumors.

    12The cows went straight up the road toward Beth Shemesh, staying on the main highway. They kept lowing as they went, without turning to the right or left. The rulers of the Philistines followed them until the border of Beth Shemesh.

    13Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley. When they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight.

    1The ark of the LORD remained in the territory of the Philistines for seven months.

    2The Philistines called for the priests and diviners and said, "What should we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it back to its place."

    3They responded, "If you send the ark of the God of Israel back, do not send it away empty. Make sure to return a guilt offering to him as well; then you will be healed, and it will become clear to you why his hand has not been lifted from you."

    4The Philistines asked, "What guilt offering should we send to him?" They replied, "Five gold tumors and five gold mice, corresponding to the number of Philistine rulers, because the same plague struck all of you and your rulers.

    5Make replicas of your tumors and your mice that are ravaging the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand on you, your gods, and your land.

    16When the five rulers of the Philistines saw what happened, they returned to Ekron that same day.

    17These are the gold tumors the Philistines sent as a guilt offering to the LORD: one each for Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.

    18And the gold mice represented the number of all the Philistine towns belonging to the five rulers, from fortified cities to rural villages. The large stone where they set the ark of the LORD remains in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh to this day.

    19But God struck down some of the men of Beth Shemesh because they looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down seventy men, and the people mourned because the LORD had inflicted them with a great blow.

    20The people of Beth Shemesh asked, "Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? And to whom should we send it to get it away from us?"

    21So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up to you."
