1 Samuel 5:8–9
8 So they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines to them, and they asked, “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 toward Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel to Gath.
9 After they moved it, the hand of Yahweh was against the city, causing a very great confusion, and he struck the men of the city ⌊from the youngest to the oldest⌋,g causing tumorsh to break out on them.
| g | Literally “from small up to great” |
| h | The Masoretic Hebrew text (Kethib) reads “boils”; the reading tradition (Qere) has “tumors” |
