    1And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines for seven months.

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

    3And they said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty, but indeed return to Him a trespass offering. Then you shall be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand has not been removed from you."

    4Then they said, "What shall be the trespass offering that we shall return to Him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for one plague was on all of you and on your lords."

    5Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ruin the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps He will lighten His hand from upon you, your gods, and your land.

    6Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He had worked wonders among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

    7Now therefore, make a new cart, take two milk cows that have never been yoked, and tie the cows to the cart, but bring their calves home away from them.

    8And take the ark of the Lord and set it on the cart, and put the jewels of gold, which you are returning to Him as a trespass offering, in a chest by its side and send it away, so that it may go.

    9And watch, if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it was not His hand that struck us, but it happened to us by chance.

    10And the men did so; they took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

    12And the cows took the straight road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

    13Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

    14And the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh and stood there; there was a large stone, and they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord.

    15The Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest that was with it, in which were the jewels of gold, and placed them on the large stone. And the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord on that day.

    16When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

    17These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned as a trespass offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

    18and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even to the large stone of Abel, on which they set down the ark of the Lord, which remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

    19And He struck the men of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people mourned because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.

    20And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? And to whom shall He go up from us?"

    21So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord; come down and take it up to you."

    6But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon the people of Ashdod, and He destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its territory.

    7When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh upon us and Dagon our god.

    8So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.

    9And it was so, that after they had carried it there, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction; He struck the men of the city, both small and great, and they had tumors in their secret parts.

    10So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.

    11So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, that it may not kill us and our people. For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

    12And the men who did not die were struck with tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
