Samuel -- 4{1}
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines
to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
{2} And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when
they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of
the army in the field about four thousand men. {3} And when the people
were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten
us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the
LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out
of the hand of our enemies. {4} So the people sent to Shiloh, that
they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which
dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
were there with the ark of the covenant of God. {5} And when the ark
of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great
shout, so that the earth rang again. {6} And when the Philistines heard
the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout
in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come
into the camp. {7} And the Philistines were afraid, for they said,
God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been
such a thing heretofore. {8} Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out
of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians
with all the plagues in the wilderness. {9} Be strong, and quit yourselves
like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they
have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight. {10} And the
Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent:
and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand
footmen. {11} And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. {12} And there ran a man of Benjamin
out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with
earth upon his head. {13} And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat
by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the
man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out. {14} And
when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this
tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli. {15} Now Eli was
ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
{16} And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and
I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son? {17}
And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and
there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also,
Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. {18} And
it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off
the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for
he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. {19}
And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered:
and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father
in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains
came upon her. {20} And about the time of her death the women that
stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered
not, neither did she regard it. {21} And she named the child I-chabod,
saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and
because of her father in law and her husband. {22} And she said, The
glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
First Samuel -- 5{1}
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
{2} When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the
house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. {3} And when they of Ashdod arose
early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before
the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
{4} And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was
fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of
Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the
stump of Dagon was left to him. {5} Therefore neither the priests of
Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in
Ashdod unto this day. {6} But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them
of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and
the coasts thereof. {7} And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was
so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand
is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god. {8} They sent therefore and
gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto 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 about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel
about thither. {9} And it was so, that, after they had carried it about,
the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he
smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their
secret parts. {10} Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And
it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out,
saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us
and our people. {11} So 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 go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was
a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
{12} And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry
of the city went up to heaven. First
Samuel -- 6{1}
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
{2} And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying,
What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to
his place. {3} And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of
Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then
ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from
you. {4} Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which
we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice,
according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on
you all, and on your lords. {5} Wherefore ye shall make images of your
emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto
the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from
off your gods, and from off your land. {6} Wherefore then do ye harden
your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharoah hardened their hearts? when he had wrought
wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
{7} Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there
hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from
them: {8} And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and
put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer
by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go. {9} And see,
if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done
us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that is not his hand that smote
us; it was a chance that happened to us. {10} And the men did so; and
took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
{11} And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with
the mice of gold and the images of their emerods. {12} And the kine
took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went along the highway,
lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and
the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
{13} And they 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. {14}
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where
there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the
kine a burnt offering unto the LORD. {15} And the Levites took down
the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold
were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt
offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD. {16}
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron
the same day. {17} And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines
returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one,
for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one; {18} And the golden mice,
according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the
five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great
stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth
unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite. {19} And he
smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD,
even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the
people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great
slaughter. {20} And 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? {21}
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines
have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
