1 Samuel 4:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ The men brought the Lord's Covenant Box into the place where the soldiers' tents were. When the Israelites saw it, they shouted so loudly that the ground shook.

⁶ The Philistines heard the loud noise. They asked each other, ‘What is happening there among the Hebrew people's army?’^[a] Then they realized that the Lord's Covenant Box had arrived there. ⁷ They were afraid and they said, ‘Their gods have come to help them fight! We are in bad trouble. Nothing like this has happened to us before.
