- 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。

- Now the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories.
- When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god."
- So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" And they said, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath." And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around.
- After they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them.
- So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to us, to kill us and our people."
