- 耶和華的手重重加在亞實突人身上、敗壞他們、使他們生痔瘡.亞實突、和亞實突的四境、都是如此。
- 亞實突人見這光景、就說、以色列 神的約櫃不可留在我們這裡、因為他的手重重加在我們、和我們神大袞的身上.
- 就打發人去請非利士的眾首領來聚集、問他們說、我們向以色列 神的約櫃應當怎樣行呢.他們回答說、可以將以色列 神的約櫃運到迦特去.於是將以色列 神的約櫃運到那裡去。
- 運到之後、耶和華的手攻擊那城、使那城的人大大驚慌.無論大小都生痔瘡。
- 他們就把 神的約櫃送到以革倫. 神的約櫃到了、以革倫人就喊嚷起來說、他們將以色列 神的約櫃運到我們這裡、要害我們和我們的眾民。

- The LORD's hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation upon them and afflicted them with tumors.
- When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, "The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy upon us and upon Dagon our god."
- So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and asked them, "What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?" They answered, "Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath." So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.
- But after they had moved it, the LORD's hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.
- So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, "They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people."
