17 And these are the golden emerodes which the Philistines gaue for a sinne offering to the Lord: for Asdod one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Gath one, and for Acaron one. 18 And golden myce, accordyng to the number of al the cities of the Philistines belongyng to the fyue lordes, both of walled townes, and of townes vnwalled, euen vnto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set downe the arke of the Lorde vnto this day, in the fielde of Iehosua the Bethsamite. 19 And he smote of the men of Bethsames, because they had loked in the arke of the Lorde, and he slue among the people fiftie thousand and three score and ten men: And the people lamented, because the Lorde had slaine the people with so great a slaughter. 20 Wherfore the men of Bethsames said: Who is able to stand before this holie Lorde God? And to whom shall he go from vs? 21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitaunts of Kiriathiarim, saying: The Philistines haue brought againe the arke of the Lord, come ye downe and fet it vp to you. 1 Samuel 6:17-21, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
