1st Samuel Chapter 6 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And the ark <H0727> of the LORD <H3068> was in the country <H7704> of the Philistines <H6430> seven <H7651> months. <H2320>
2: And the Philistines <H6430> called <H7121> for the priests <H3548> and the diviners, <H7080> saying, <H0559> What shall we do <H6213> to the ark <H0727> of the LORD? <H3068> tell <H3045> us wherewith we shall send <H7971> it to his place. <H4725>
3: And they said, <H0559> If ye send away <H7971> the ark <H0727> of the God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> send <H7971> it not empty; <H7387> but in any wise <H7725> return <H7725> him a trespass offering: <H0817> then ye shall be healed, <H7495> and it shall be known <H3045> to you why his hand <H3027> is not removed <H5493> from you.
4: Then said <H0559> they, What [shall be] the trespass offering <H0817> which we shall return <H7725> to him? They answered, <H0559> 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 <H0259> plague <H4046> [was] on you all, and on your lords. <H5633>
5: Wherefore ye shall make <H6213> images <H6754> of your emerods, <H2914> <H6076> and images <H6754> of your mice <H5909> that mar <H7843> the land; <H0776> and ye shall give <H5414> glory <H3519> unto the God <H0430> of Israel: <H3478> peradventure he will lighten <H7043> his hand <H3027> from off you, and from off your gods, <H0430> and from off your land. <H0776>
6: Wherefore 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>
7: Now therefore make <H6213> a <H0259> new <H2319> cart, <H5699> and take <H3947> two <H8147> milch <H5763> kine, <H6510> on which there hath come <H5927> no yoke, <H5923> and tie <H0631> the kine <H6510> to the cart, <H5699> and bring <H7725> their calves <H1121> home <H1004> from <H0310> them:
8: And take <H3947> the ark <H0727> 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, <H0817> in a coffer <H0712> by the side <H6654> thereof; and send it away, <H7971> that it may go. <H1980>
9: And 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 <H1961> to us.
10: And the men <H0582> did <H6213> so; and took <H3947> two <H8147> milch <H5763> kine, <H6510> and tied <H0631> them to the cart, <H5699> and shut up <H3607> their calves <H1121> at home: <H1004>
11: And they laid <H7760> the ark <H0727> of the LORD <H3068> upon the cart, <H5699> and the coffer <H0712> with the mice <H5909> of gold <H2091> and the images <H6754> of their emerods. <H2914>
12: And the kine <H6510> took the straight <H3474> way <H1870> to the way <H1870> of Bethshemesh, <H1053> [and] went <H1980> along <H1980> the highway, <H4546> <H0259> lowing <H1600> as they went, 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 <H0310> them unto the border <H1366> of Bethshemesh. <H1053>
13: And [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, <H0727> and rejoiced <H8055> to see <H7200> [it].
14: And the cart <H5699> came <H0935> into the field <H7704> of Joshua, <H3091> a Bethshemite, <H1030> and stood <H5975> there, where [there was] a great <H1419> stone: <H0068> 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>
15: And the Levites <H3881> took down <H3381> the ark <H0727> of the LORD, <H3068> and the coffer <H0712> that [was] with it, wherein the jewels <H3627> of gold <H2091> [were], and put <H7760> [them] on the great <H1419> stone: <H0068> and the men <H0582> of Bethshemesh <H1053> offered <H5927> burnt offerings <H5930> and sacrificed <H2076> sacrifices <H2077> the same day <H3117> unto the LORD. <H3068>
16: And when the five <H2568> lords <H5633> of the Philistines <H6430> had seen <H7200> [it], they returned <H7725> to Ekron <H6138> the same day. <H3117>
17: And these [are] the golden <H2091> emerods <H2914> which the Philistines <H6430> returned <H7725> [for] a trespass offering <H0817> unto the LORD; <H3068> for Ashdod <H0795> one, <H0259> for Gaza <H5804> one, <H0259> for Askelon <H0831> one, <H0259> for Gath <H1661> one, <H0259> for Ekron <H6138> one; <H0259>
18: And 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, <H0059> whereon they set down <H3240> the ark <H0727> of the LORD: <H3068> [which stone remaineth] unto this day <H3117> in the field <H7704> of Joshua, <H3091> the Bethshemite. <H1030>
19: And he smote <H5221> the men <H0582> of Bethshemesh, <H1053> because they had looked <H7200> into the ark <H0727> of the LORD, <H3068> even he smote <H5221> of the people <H5971> fifty <H2572> thousand <H0505> and threescore <H0376> and ten <H7657> men: <H0376> and the people <H5971> lamented, <H0056> because the LORD <H3068> had smitten <H5221> [many] of the people <H5971> with a great <H1419> slaughter. <H4347>
20: And the men <H0582> of Bethshemesh <H1053> said, <H0559> Who is able <H3201> to stand <H5975> before <H6440> this holy <H6918> LORD <H3068> God? <H0430> and to whom shall he go up <H5927> from us?
21: And they sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> to the inhabitants <H3427> of Kirjathjearim, <H7157> saying, <H0559> The Philistines <H6430> have brought again <H7725> the ark <H0727> of the LORD; <H3068> come ye down, <H3381> [and] fetch it up <H5927> to you.
