They yoked the cows to the wagon and took the calves home. ¹¹ They set the covenant chest of the Eternal upon the wagon, and next to it, they placed the box with the gold tumors and gold mice. ¹² The cows went straight along the road toward Beth-shemesh, mooing after their lost calves as they went. They went straight ahead without any hesitation, and the rulers of the Philistines followed as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.
