Löydetty 2650 Tulokset: Old
and the Philistines, hearing it, wondered what could have set the Hebrew camp in such an uproar. When they were told that the ark of the Lord had been brought there, (1 Samuel 4, 6)
The noise of it came to Heli’s ears, and he asked what this tumult should mean. With all speed the messenger came up and told his news. (1 Samuel 4, 14)
(Heli was then ninety-eight years old; his eyes were dim with age now, and sightless.) (1 Samuel 4, 15)
And Heli, when he heard mention made of God’s ark, fell backwards from his seat, there in the door-way, and broke his neck, and died; so old a man was he, so spent with age. For forty years he had ruled Israel. (1 Samuel 4, 18)
that lay where it fell. That is why to this day the priests and the worshippers of Dagon never set foot on the threshold when they enter his temple in Azotus. (1 Samuel 5, 5)
so they summoned a gathering of all the Philistine chiefs, and put the question what should be done with the ark. It must be carried about, the men of Geth told them, from place to place; and carry it about they did, (1 Samuel 5, 8)
and this was the answer given: You must make five little mounts of gold, and five golden mice, one for each of the Philistine provinces; it was the same divine punishment that afflicted all the provinces, all the chiefs alike. When they are ready, these emblems of your shame, these figures of the mice that have ravaged your land, make amends with them to the God of Israel, and ask relief for yourselves, and your gods, and your lands. (1 Samuel 6, 5)
Lift the ark of the Lord on to this waggon, and put in a casket, at the side of it, the golden offerings you would make in amends for your fault; then let it go on its way, (1 Samuel 6, 8)
put the ark of God on the waggon, and the casket with the five golden mice and golden mounts beside it. (1 Samuel 6, 11)
Levites set down the ark of God, and with it the casket that contained the golden emblems, on the great stone, while the men of Bethsames, that day, brought the Lord burnt-sacrifice and offered him victims. (1 Samuel 6, 15)
The golden mounts which the Philistines gave to the Lord in amends for their fault came from the five cities of Azotus, Gaza, Ascalon, Geth and Accaron; (1 Samuel 6, 17)
and there were golden mice to match the whole number of cities, walled or unwalled, in the five Philistine provinces, (right up to Abel the Great, where they put down the ark of the Lord, that had been till that day in the lands of Josue the Bethsamite).✻ (1 Samuel 6, 18)
