1 Samuel 4:5-8 ▼

5 When the ark of the LORD arrived in the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth shook.

6 The Philistines, hearing the uproar, asked, “What does this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” On learning that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp,

7 the Philistines were frightened, crying out, “Gods have come to their camp. Woe to us! This has never happened before.

8 Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with various plagues in the desert.
