1 Samuel 4:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ So the people sent men to Shiloh. The men brought back the Lord All-Powerful’s Box of the Agreement. On top of the Box are the Cherub angels. They are like a throne where the Lord sits. Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, came with the Box.

⁵ When the Lord’s Box of the Agreement came into the camp, all the Israelites gave a great shout loud enough to make the ground shake. ⁶ The Philistines heard Israel’s shout and asked, “Why are the people so excited in the Hebrew^[a] camp?”

Then the Philistines learned that the Lord’s Holy Box had been brought into Israel’s camp.
