1 Samuel 5:11-12

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The people of Ekron called all the kings of the Philistines together. They said to the kings, “Send the Ark of the Covenant of the God of Israel back to its place. Do it before it kills us and our people!” They were very afraid. God’s punishment was very terrible there. ¹² The people who did not die were troubled with growths on their skin. So the people of Ekron cried loudly to heaven.
