1 Samuel

Chapter 6

1 And the ark727 of the LORD3068 was in the country7704 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 months.2320

2 And the Philistines6430 called7121 for the priests3548 and the diviners,7080 saying,559 What4100 shall we do6213 to the ark727 of the LORD?3068 tell3045 us with which4100 we shall send7971 it to his place.4725

3 And they said,559 If518 you send7971 away the ark727 of the God430 of Israel,3478 send7971 it not empty;7387 but in any wise return7725 him a trespass817 offering: then227 you shall be healed,7495 and it shall be known3045 to you why4100 his hand3027 is not removed5493 from you.

4 Then said559 they, What4100 shall be the trespass817 offering which834 we shall return7725 to him? They answered,559 Five2568 golden2091 tumors,6076 and five2568 golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of the lords5633 of the Philistines:6430 for one259 plague4046 was on you all,3605 and on your lords.5633

5 Why you shall make6213 images6754 of your tumors,6076 and images6754 of your mice5909 that mar7843 the land;776 and you shall give5414 glory3519 to the God430 of Israel:3478 peradventure194 he will lighten7043 his hand3027 from off5921 you, and from off5921 your gods,430 and from off5921 your land.776

6 Why4100 then do you harden3513 your hearts,3824 as the Egyptians4714 and Pharaoh6547 hardened3513 their hearts?3820 when834 he had worked5953 wonderfully5953 among them, did they not let the people go,7971 and they departed?3212

7 Now6258 therefore make6213 a new2319 cart,5699 and take3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 on5921 which834 there has come5927 no3808 yoke,5923 and tie631 the cows6510 to the cart,5699 and bring7725 their calves1121 home1004 from them:

8 And take3947 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and lay5414 it on the cart;5699 and put7760 the jewels3627 of gold,2091 which834 you return7725 him for a trespass817 offering, in a coffer712 by the side6654 thereof; and send7971 it away, that it may go.1980

9 And see,7200 if518 it goes5927 up by the way1870 of his own coast1366 to Bethshemesh,1053 then he has done6213 us this2063 great1419 evil:7451 but if518 not, then we shall know3045 that it is not his hand3027 that smote5060 us: it was a chance4745 that happened1961 to us.

10 And the men582 did6213 so;3651 and took3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 and tied631 them to the cart,5699 and shut3607 up their calves1121 at home:1004

11 And they laid7760 the ark727 of the LORD3068 on the cart,5699 and the coffer712 with the mice5909 of gold2091 and the images6754 of their tumors.2914

12 And the cows6510 took the straight3474 way1870 to the way1870 of Bethshemesh,1053 and went1980 along1980 the highway,4546 lowing1600 as they went,1980 and turned5493 not aside to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left;8040 and the lords5633 of the Philistines6430 went1980 after310 them to the border1366 of Bethshemesh.1053

13 And they of Bethshemesh1053 were reaping7114 their wheat2406 harvest7105 in the valley:6010 and they lifted5375 up their eyes,5869 and saw7200 the ark,727 and rejoiced8055 to see7200 it.

14 And the cart5699 came935 into413 the field7704 of Joshua,3091 a Bethshemite,1030 and stood5975 there,8033 where8033 there was a great1419 stone:68 and they split1234 the wood6086 of the cart,5699 and offered5927 the cows6510 a burnt5930 offering to the LORD.3068

15 And the Levites3881 took3381 down3381 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and the coffer712 that was with it, wherein834 the jewels3627 of gold2091 were, and put7760 them on413 the great1419 stone:68 and the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 offered5927 burnt5930 offerings and sacrificed2076 sacrifices2077 the same1931 day3117 to the LORD.3068

16 And when the five2568 lords5633 of the Philistines6430 had seen7200 it, they returned7725 to Ekron6138 the same1931 day.3117

17 And these428 are the golden2091 tumors2914 which834 the Philistines6430 returned7725 for a trespass817 offering to the LORD;3068 for Ashdod795 one,259 for Gaza5804 one,259 for Askelon831 one,259 for Gath1661 one,259 for Ekron6138 one;259

18 And the golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of all3605 the cities5892 of the Philistines6430 belonging to the five2568 lords,5633 both of fenced4013 cities,5892 and of country6521 villages,3724 even to the great1419 stone of Abel,59 where on834 5921 they set3240 down the ark727 of the LORD:3068 which stone remains to this2088 day3117 in the field7704 of Joshua,3091 the Bethshemite.1030

19 And he smote the men376 of Bethshemesh,1053 because3588 they had looked7200 into the ark727 of the LORD,3068 even he smote5221 of the people5971 fifty2572 thousand505 and three score7657 and ten men:376 and the people5971 lamented,56 because3588 the LORD3068 had smitten5221 many of the people5971 with a great1419 slaughter.4347

20 And the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 said,559 Who4310 is able3201 to stand5975 before6440 this2088 holy6918 LORD3068 God?430 and to whom4310 shall he go5927 up from us?

21 And they sent7971 messengers4397 to the inhabitants3427 of Kirjathjearim,7157 saying,559 The Philistines6430 have brought7725 again7725 the ark727 of the LORD;3068 come3381 you down,3381 and fetch5927 it up to you.

1 Samuel

Chapter 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 lords, saying, What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us by what means shall we send it to its place.

3 And they said, If you send away the ark of the LORD God of Israel, do not send it away empty; but you must surely bring trespass offerings to it; then you shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

4 And they said, What sort of offerings shall we bring to it? They answered, Five golden boils and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was upon you all and upon your lords.

5 Wherefore you shall make likenesses of your boils and images of the mice that are destroying the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will remove his hand from you and from your god and from your land.

6 And you shall not harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts, and as they mocked the Israelites and did not send them nor let them go.

7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch cows upon which there has come no yoke, and tie the cows 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 vessels of gold which you have brought for it as offerings, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go on its way.

9 And watch, for if it goes up by the way of the border which goes up to Beth-shemesh, then it is the LORD who has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that afflicted us, but it has happened to us by chance.

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

11 And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their boils.

12 And they sent out the cows by the way which is by the border of Beth-shemesh, and they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.

13 And the men of the town of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced when they saw it.

14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemeshite, and stopped where there was a great stone; and they split the wood of the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was with it in which were the vessels of gold, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrifices on that day to 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 boils which the Philistines had brought as offerings to God: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon 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 the five fortified cities and of the country villages of the Perrizites, and as far as the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD, which to this day is in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemeshite.

19 And the LORD smote the men of Beth-shemesh because they worshipped the ark of the LORD, and the LORD smote five thousand and seventy men of the people; and the people mourned 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 who shall carry up from us the ark?

21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Koriath-narin, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down and take it up to you.

Chapter 6

1 And the ark727 of the LORD3068 was in the country7704 of the Philistines6430 seven7651 months.2320

1 AND the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

2 And the Philistines6430 called7121 for the priests3548 and the diviners,7080 saying,559 What4100 shall we do6213 to the ark727 of the LORD?3068 tell3045 us with which4100 we shall send7971 it to his place.4725

2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the lords, saying, What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us by what means shall we send it to its place.

3 And they said,559 If518 you send7971 away the ark727 of the God430 of Israel,3478 send7971 it not empty;7387 but in any wise return7725 him a trespass817 offering: then227 you shall be healed,7495 and it shall be known3045 to you why4100 his hand3027 is not removed5493 from you.

3 And they said, If you send away the ark of the LORD God of Israel, do not send it away empty; but you must surely bring trespass offerings to it; then you shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

4 Then said559 they, What4100 shall be the trespass817 offering which834 we shall return7725 to him? They answered,559 Five2568 golden2091 tumors,6076 and five2568 golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of the lords5633 of the Philistines:6430 for one259 plague4046 was on you all,3605 and on your lords.5633

4 And they said, What sort of offerings shall we bring to it? They answered, Five golden boils and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was upon you all and upon your lords.

5 Why you shall make6213 images6754 of your tumors,6076 and images6754 of your mice5909 that mar7843 the land;776 and you shall give5414 glory3519 to the God430 of Israel:3478 peradventure194 he will lighten7043 his hand3027 from off5921 you, and from off5921 your gods,430 and from off5921 your land.776

5 Wherefore you shall make likenesses of your boils and images of the mice that are destroying the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will remove his hand from you and from your god and from your land.

6 Why4100 then do you harden3513 your hearts,3824 as the Egyptians4714 and Pharaoh6547 hardened3513 their hearts?3820 when834 he had worked5953 wonderfully5953 among them, did they not let the people go,7971 and they departed?3212

6 And you shall not harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts, and as they mocked the Israelites and did not send them nor let them go.

7 Now6258 therefore make6213 a new2319 cart,5699 and take3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 on5921 which834 there has come5927 no3808 yoke,5923 and tie631 the cows6510 to the cart,5699 and bring7725 their calves1121 home1004 from them:

7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch cows upon which there has come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;

8 And take3947 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and lay5414 it on the cart;5699 and put7760 the jewels3627 of gold,2091 which834 you return7725 him for a trespass817 offering, in a coffer712 by the side6654 thereof; and send7971 it away, that it may go.1980

8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the vessels of gold which you have brought for it as offerings, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go on its way.

9 And see,7200 if518 it goes5927 up by the way1870 of his own coast1366 to Bethshemesh,1053 then he has done6213 us this2063 great1419 evil:7451 but if518 not, then we shall know3045 that it is not his hand3027 that smote5060 us: it was a chance4745 that happened1961 to us.

9 And watch, for if it goes up by the way of the border which goes up to Beth-shemesh, then it is the LORD who has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that afflicted us, but it has happened to us by chance.

10 And the men582 did6213 so;3651 and took3947 two8147 milk5763 cows,6510 and tied631 them to the cart,5699 and shut3607 up their calves1121 at home:1004

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

11 And they laid7760 the ark727 of the LORD3068 on the cart,5699 and the coffer712 with the mice5909 of gold2091 and the images6754 of their tumors.2914

11 And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their boils.

12 And the cows6510 took the straight3474 way1870 to the way1870 of Bethshemesh,1053 and went1980 along1980 the highway,4546 lowing1600 as they went,1980 and turned5493 not aside to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left;8040 and the lords5633 of the Philistines6430 went1980 after310 them to the border1366 of Bethshemesh.1053

12 And they sent out the cows by the way which is by the border of Beth-shemesh, and they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand nor to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.

13 And they of Bethshemesh1053 were reaping7114 their wheat2406 harvest7105 in the valley:6010 and they lifted5375 up their eyes,5869 and saw7200 the ark,727 and rejoiced8055 to see7200 it.

13 And the men of the town of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced when they saw it.

14 And the cart5699 came935 into413 the field7704 of Joshua,3091 a Bethshemite,1030 and stood5975 there,8033 where8033 there was a great1419 stone:68 and they split1234 the wood6086 of the cart,5699 and offered5927 the cows6510 a burnt5930 offering to the LORD.3068

14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemeshite, and stopped where there was a great stone; and they split the wood of the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

15 And the Levites3881 took3381 down3381 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 and the coffer712 that was with it, wherein834 the jewels3627 of gold2091 were, and put7760 them on413 the great1419 stone:68 and the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 offered5927 burnt5930 offerings and sacrificed2076 sacrifices2077 the same1931 day3117 to the LORD.3068

15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was with it in which were the vessels of gold, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrifices on that day to the LORD.

16 And when the five2568 lords5633 of the Philistines6430 had seen7200 it, they returned7725 to Ekron6138 the same1931 day.3117

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

17 And these428 are the golden2091 tumors2914 which834 the Philistines6430 returned7725 for a trespass817 offering to the LORD;3068 for Ashdod795 one,259 for Gaza5804 one,259 for Askelon831 one,259 for Gath1661 one,259 for Ekron6138 one;259

17 And these are the golden boils which the Philistines had brought as offerings to God: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;

18 And the golden2091 mice,5909 according to the number4557 of all3605 the cities5892 of the Philistines6430 belonging to the five2568 lords,5633 both of fenced4013 cities,5892 and of country6521 villages,3724 even to the great1419 stone of Abel,59 where on834 5921 they set3240 down the ark727 of the LORD:3068 which stone remains to this2088 day3117 in the field7704 of Joshua,3091 the Bethshemite.1030

18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging to the five lords, both of the five fortified cities and of the country villages of the Perrizites, and as far as the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD, which to this day is in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemeshite.

19 And he smote the men376 of Bethshemesh,1053 because3588 they had looked7200 into the ark727 of the LORD,3068 even he smote5221 of the people5971 fifty2572 thousand505 and three score7657 and ten men:376 and the people5971 lamented,56 because3588 the LORD3068 had smitten5221 many of the people5971 with a great1419 slaughter.4347

19 And the LORD smote the men of Beth-shemesh because they worshipped the ark of the LORD, and the LORD smote five thousand and seventy men of the people; and the people mourned because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

20 And the men582 of Bethshemesh1053 said,559 Who4310 is able3201 to stand5975 before6440 this2088 holy6918 LORD3068 God?430 and to whom4310 shall he go5927 up from us?

20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? And who shall carry up from us the ark?

21 And they sent7971 messengers4397 to the inhabitants3427 of Kirjathjearim,7157 saying,559 The Philistines6430 have brought7725 again7725 the ark727 of the LORD;3068 come3381 you down,3381 and fetch5927 it up to you.

21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Koriath-narin, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down and take it up to you.
