1 Samuel 5:10-12

Names of God Bible

¹⁰ So the people of Gath sent the ark of Elohim to Ekron. But when the ark of Elohim came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They brought the ark of the Elohim of Israel here to kill us.” ¹¹ They called together all the Philistine rulers. “Send the ark of the Elohim of Israel away,” they said. “Let it go back to its own place so that it won’t kill us or our people.” There was a fear of death throughout the city, where Elohim dealt with them very harshly. ¹² The people who didn’t die were struck with tumors. So the cry of the city went up to heaven.
