Parallel
1 Samuel 5:11
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Miserunt itaque et congregaverunt omnes satrapas Philisthinorum : qui dixerunt : Dimittite arcam Dei Israël, et revertatur in locum suum, et non interficiat nos cum populo nostro.
Then the Ekronites called together all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel. It must return to its place, so that it will not (note: Or He will not) kill us and our people!” For a deadly confusion had pervaded the city; the hand of God was very heavy upon it.
