19 But the LORD struck down some of the people of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD; he struck down 50,070 of the men. The people grieved because the LORD had struck the people with a hard blow. 20 The residents of Beth Shemesh asked, |Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from here?| 21 So they sent messengers to the residents of Kiriath Jearim, saying, |The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down here and take it back home with you.| 1 Samuel 6:19-21, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
