    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.
