10 So they sent the ark of God {Elohim} to Ekron (torn up by the roots), but as it arrived, the Ekronites cried out, “They have brought us the ark of the God of Israel (he wrestles with God) in order to kill us and our people!” 11 Then the Ekronites called together all the rulers of the Philistines (immigrants) and said, “Send away the ark of the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God). It must return to its place, so that it will not (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. 1 Samuel 5:10-11, Berean Annotated Bible.
