1 Samuel 5:9-11
New English Translation

9 But after it had been moved the Lord attacked[a] that city as well, causing a great deal of panic. He struck all the people of that city[b] with sores.[c] 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron.

But when the ark of God arrived at Ekron, the residents of Ekron cried out saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here[d] to kill our[e] people!” 11 So they assembled[f] all the leaders of the Philistines and said, “Get the ark of the God of Israel out of here! Let it go back to its own place so that it won’t kill us[g] and our[h] people!” The terror[i] of death was throughout the entire city; God was attacking them very severely there.[j]
