I Samuel 6 (kjv)

And the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068 was in the country^H7704 of the Philistines^H6430 seven^H7651 months^H2320.²And the Philistines^H6430 called^H7121 for the priests^H3548 and the diviners^H7080, saying^H559, What shall we do^H6213 to the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068? tell^H3045 us wherewith we shall send^H7971 it to his place^H4725.³And they said^H559, If ye send away^H7971 the ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, send^H7971 it not empty^H7387; but in any wise^H7725 return^H7725 him a trespass offering^H817: then ye shall be healed^H7495, and it shall be known^H3045 to you why his hand^H3027 is not removed^H5493 from you.⁴Then said^H559 they, What shall be the trespass offering^H817 which we shall return^H7725 to him? They answered^H559, Five^H2568 golden^H2091 emerods^{H2914 H6076}, and five^H2568 golden^H2091 mice^H5909, according to the number^H4557 of the lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430: for one^H259 plague^H4046 was on you all, and on your lords^H5633.⁵Wherefore ye shall make^H6213 images^H6754 of your emerods^{H2914 H6076}, and images^H6754 of your mice^H5909 that mar^H7843 the land^H776; and ye shall give^H5414 glory^H3519 unto the God^H430 of Israel^H3478: peradventure he will lighten^H7043 his hand^H3027 from off you, and from off your gods^H430, and from off your land^H776.⁶Wherefore then do ye harden^H3513 your hearts^H3824, as the Egyptians^H4714 and Pharaoh^H6547 hardened^H3513 their hearts^H3820? when he had wrought wonderfully^H5953 among them, did they not let the people go^H7971, and they departed^H3212?⁷Now therefore make^H6213 a^H259 new^H2319 cart^H5699, and take^H3947 two^H8147 milch^H5763 kine^H6510, on which there hath come^H5927 no yoke^H5923, and tie^H631 the kine^H6510 to the cart^H5699, and bring^H7725 their calves^H1121 home^H1004 from them^H310:⁸And take^H3947 the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068, and lay^H5414 it upon the cart^H5699; and put^H7760 the jewels^H3627 of gold^H2091, which ye return^H7725 him for a trespass offering^H817, in a coffer^H712 by the side^H6654 thereof; and send it away^H7971, that it may go^H1980.⁹And see^H7200, if it goeth up^H5927 by the way^H1870 of his own coast^H1366 to Bethshemesh^H1053, then he hath done^H6213 us this great^H1419 evil^H7451: but if not, then we shall know^H3045 that it is not his hand^H3027 that smote^H5060 us: it was a chance^H4745 that happened to us^H1961.

¹⁰And the men^H582 did so^H6213; and took^H3947 two^H8147 milch^H5763 kine^H6510, and tied^H631 them to the cart^H5699, and shut up^H3607 their calves^H1121 at home^H1004:¹¹And they laid^H7760 the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068 upon the cart^H5699, and the coffer^H712 with the mice^H5909 of gold^H2091 and the images^H6754 of their emerods^H2914.¹²And the kine^H6510 took the straight^H3474 way^H1870 to the way^H1870 of Bethshemesh^H1053, and went along^H1980 the highway^{H4546 H259}, lowing^H1600 as they went^H1980, and turned not aside^H5493 to the right hand^H3225 or to the left^H8040; and the lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430 went^H1980 after^H310 them unto the border^H1366 of Bethshemesh^H1053.¹³And they of Bethshemesh^H1053 were reaping^H7114 their wheat^H2406 harvest^H7105 in the valley^H6010: and they lifted up^H5375 their eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200 the ark^H727, and rejoiced^H8055 to see^H7200 it.¹⁴And the cart^H5699 came^H935 into the field^H7704 of Joshua^H3091, a Bethshemite^H1030, and stood^H5975 there, where there was a great^H1419 stone^H68: and they clave^H1234 the wood^H6086 of the cart^H5699, and offered^H5927 the kine^H6510 a burnt offering^H5930 unto the LORD^H3068.¹⁵And the Levites^H3881 took down^H3381 the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068, and the coffer^H712 that was with it, wherein the jewels^H3627 of gold^H2091 were, and put^H7760 them on the great^H1419 stone^H68: and the men^H582 of Bethshemesh^H1053 offered^H5927 burnt offerings^H5930 and sacrificed^H2076 sacrifices^H2077 the same day^H3117 unto the LORD^H3068.¹⁶And when the five^H2568 lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430 had seen^H7200 it, they returned^H7725 to Ekron^H6138 the same day^H3117.¹⁷And these are the golden^H2091 emerods^H2914 which the Philistines^H6430 returned^H7725 for a trespass offering^H817 unto the LORD^H3068; for Ashdod^H795 one^H259, for Gaza^H5804 one^H259, for Askelon^H831 one^H259, for Gath^H1661 one^H259, for Ekron^H6138 one^H259;¹⁸And the golden^H2091 mice^H5909, according to the number^H4557 of all the cities^H5892 of the Philistines^H6430 belonging to the five^H2568 lords^H5633, both of fenced^H4013 cities^H5892, and of country^H6521 villages^H3724, even unto the great^H1419 stone of Abel^H59, whereon they set down^H3240 the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068: which stone remaineth unto this day^H3117 in the field^H7704 of Joshua^H3091, the Bethshemite^H1030.

¹⁹And he smote^H5221 the men^H376 of Bethshemesh^H1053, because they had looked^H7200 into the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068, even he smote^H5221 of the people^H5971 fifty^H2572 thousand^H505 and threescore and ten^H7657 men^H582: and the people^H5971 lamented^H56, because the LORD^H3068 had smitten^H5221 many of the people^H5971 with a great^H1419 slaughter^H4347.²⁰And the men^H582 of Bethshemesh^H1053 said^H559, Who is able^H3201 to stand^H5975 before^H6440 this holy^H6918 LORD^H3068 God^H430? and to whom shall he go up^H5927 from us?

²¹And they sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 to the inhabitants^H3427 of Kirjathjearim^H7157, saying^H559, The Philistines^H6430 have brought again^H7725 the ark^H727 of the LORD^H3068; come ye down^H3381, and fetch it up^H5927 to you.
