And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were
amazed: for they saw
that evil was come upon them.
Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were
terrified when they realized
that disaster had come upon them.
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and
smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all
that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities
that they came to.
And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
“Why, O LORD God of Israel,” they
cried out, “has this happened in Israel?
Today in Israel one tribe is missing!”
And it came to pass on the
morrow,
that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
The next day the people got up early, built an altar there, and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings.
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
The Israelites asked, “Who among all the tribes of Israel did not come to the assembly before the LORD?” For they had taken a solemn oath
that anyone who failed to come up before the LORD at
Mizpah would surely be put to death.
How shall we do for wives for them
that remain, seeing we have
sworn by the LORD
that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
What should we do about wives for the survivors, since we have
sworn by the LORD not to give them our daughters in marriage?”
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel
that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from
Jabesh-
gilead to the assembly.
So they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to come up before the LORD at
Mizpah?” And, in fact, no one from
Jabesh-
gilead had come to the camp for the assembly.
And this is the thing
that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman
that hath
lain by man.
This is what you are to do:
Devote to destruction every male, as well as every female who has had relations with a man.”
And they found among the inhabitants of
Jabesh-
gilead four hundred young virgins,
that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to
Shiloh, which is in the land of
Canaan.
So they found among the inhabitants of
Jabesh-
gilead four hundred young women who had not had relations with a man, and they brought them to the camp at
Shiloh in the land of
Canaan.
And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin
that were in the rock
Rimmon, and to call
peaceably unto them.
Then the whole congregation sent a message of peace to the Benjamites who were at the rock of
Rimmon.
And Benjamin came again at
that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of
Jabesh-
gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
And at
that time the Benjamites returned and were given the women who were
spared from
Jabesh-
gilead. But there were not enough women for all of them.
And the people
repented them for Benjamin, because
that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
The people
grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Then the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”
And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
They added, “There must be heirs for the survivors of Benjamin, so
that a tribe of Israel will not be
wiped out.
Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have
sworn, saying,
Cursed be he
that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
But we cannot give them our daughters as wives.” For the Israelites had
sworn, “
Cursed is he who gives a wife to a
Benjamite.”
Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in
Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of
Bethel, on the east side of the
highway that goeth up from
Bethel to
Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
“But look,” they said, “there is a yearly feast to the LORD in
Shiloh, which is north of
Bethel east of the road
that goes up from
Bethel to
Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to
complain,
that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time,
that ye should be guilty.
When their fathers or brothers come to us to
complain, we will tell them, ‘Do us a favor by helping them, since we did not get wives for each of them in the war. Since you did not actually give them your daughters, you have no guilt.’”
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
The Benjamites did as
instructed and carried away the number of women they needed from the dancers they caught. They went back to their own inheritance, rebuilt their cities, and settled in them.
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
And at that time, each of the Israelites returned from there to his own tribe and clan, each to his own inheritance.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
In those days there was no king in Israel;
everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled,
that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to
sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man from
Bethlehem in Judah, with his wife and two sons, went to reside in the land of Moab.
Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
When
Naomi heard in Moab
that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
The LORD grant you
that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she
kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and
wept.
May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.” And she
kissed them as they
wept aloudAnd
Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my
womb,
that they may be your husbands?
But
Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my
womb to become your husbands?
Would ye
tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands?
nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes
that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.
would you wait for them to grow up? Would you
refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes
that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
When she saw
that she was
stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
When
Naomi saw
that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to
persuade her.
So they two went until they came to
Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to
Bethlehem,
that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this
Naomi?
Then said Boaz unto his servant
that was set over the reapers, Whose
damsel is this?
And Boaz asked the
foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
And the servant
that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the
Moabitish damsel that came back with
Naomi out of the country of Moab:
And she said, I pray you, let me
glean and gather after the reapers among the
sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now,
that she
tarried a little in the house.
She has said, ‘Please let me
glean and gather among the
sheaves after the harvesters.’ So she came out and has continued from morning until now, except
that she rested a short time in the shelter.”
Let thine eyes be on the field
that they do
reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men
that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art
athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of
that which the young men have drawn.
Let your eyes be on the field they are harvesting, and follow along after these girls. Indeed, I have ordered the young men not to touch you. And when you are
thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
At this, she fell on her face, bowing low to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me, even though I am a foreigner?”
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all
that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy
nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not
heretofore.
Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.
Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for
that thou hast comforted me, and for
that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine
handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
“My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your
maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.”
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them,
that she may
glean them, and
rebuke her not.
Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not
rebuke her.”
So she
gleaned in the field until even, and beat out
that she had
gleaned: and it was about an
ephah of barley.
So
Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had
gleaned, it was about an
ephah of barley.
And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had
gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her
that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
She
picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had
gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to
Naomi.
And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou
gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he
that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you
glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with
today is Boaz,” she said.
And
Naomi said unto
Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter,
that thou go out with his maidens,
that they meet thee not in any other field.
And
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law
Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so
that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
Then
Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee,
that it may be well with thee?
One day
Ruth’s mother-in-law
Naomi said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a resting place for you,
that it may be well with you?
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet, and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do.”
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
“I will do everything you say,”
Ruth answered.
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all
that her mother in law
bade her.
So she went down to the
threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had
instructed her to do.
And it came to pass at
midnight,
that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
At
midnight, Boaz was
startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all
that thou requirest: for all the city of my people
doth know
that thou art a
virtuous woman.
And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning,
that if he will perform unto thee the part of a
kinsman, well; let him do the
kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a
kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a
kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
Stay here
tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to
redeem you, good. Let him
redeem you. But if he does not want to
redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie here until morning.”
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
So she lay down at his feet until morning, but she got up before
anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, “Do not let it be known
that a woman came to the
threshing floor.”
Also he said, Bring the
vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
And he told her, “Bring the
shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he
shoveled six measures of barley into her
shawl. Then he went into the city.
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
When
Ruth returned to her mother-in-law,
Naomi asked her, “How did it go, my daughter?” Then
Ruth told her all
that Boaz had done for her.
And he said unto the
kinsman,
Naomi,
that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a
parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
And he said to the
kinsman-
redeemer, “
Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, is selling the piece of land
that belonged to our brother Elimelech.
And I thought to
advertise thee, saying,
Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou
wilt redeem it,
redeem it: but if thou
wilt not
redeem it, then tell me,
that I may know: for there is none to
redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will
redeem it.
I thought I should inform you
that you may
buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to
redeem it, do so. But if you will not
redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to
redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will
redeem it,” he replied.
And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day,
that I have bought all
that was Elimelech’s, and all
that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of
Naomi.
At this, Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses
today that I am
buying from
Naomi all
that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon.
Moreover
Ruth the
Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance,
that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
Moreover, I have acquired
Ruth the
Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so
that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses
today.”
And all the people
that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman
that is come into thine house like
Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou
worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in
Bethlehem:
“We are witnesses,” said the elders and all the people at the gate. “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like
Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you be prosperous in Ephrathah and famous in
Bethlehem.
And the women said unto
Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a
kinsman,
that his name may be famous in Israel.
Then the women said to
Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a
kinsman-
redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel.
And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD,
that Eli marked her mouth.
As
Hannah kept on praying before the LORD,
Eli watched her mouth.
Then
Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition
that thou hast asked of him.
“Go in peace,”
Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after
Hannah had conceived,
that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
So in the course of time,
Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”
But
Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be
weaned, and then I will bring him,
that he may appear before the LORD, and there
abide for ever.
but
Hannah did not go. “After the boy is
weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”
And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
“Please, my lord,” said
Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
And
Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is
exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I
rejoice in thy salvation.
At
that time
Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is
exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I
rejoice in Your salvation.
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they
that stumbled are
girded with strength.
The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are
equipped with strength.
They
that were full have
hired out themselves for bread; and they
that were
hungry ceased: so
that the barren hath born seven; and she
that hath many children is waxed feeble.
The well-fed
hire themselves out for food, but the
starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.
And the priest’s custom with the people was,
that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in
seething, with a
fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-
pronged meat
fork while the meat was boiling
And he struck it into the pan, or
kettle, or
caldron, or pot; all
that the
fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in
Shiloh unto all the Israelites
that came thither.
and
plunge it into the pan or
kettle or cauldron or
cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat
fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to
Shiloh.
Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man
that sacrificed, Give flesh to
roast for the priest; for he will not have
sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to
roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
And the LORD visited
Hannah, so
that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
So the LORD attended to
Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
Now
Eli was very old, and heard all
that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women
that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Now
Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report
that I hear: ye make the LORD’S people to
transgress.
No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear
circulating among the LORD’s people.
Wherefore
kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my
habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make
yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Why then do you
kick at My sacrifice and offering
that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by
fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed
that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them
that honour me I will honour, and they
that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say
that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me
forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who
despise Me will be
disdained.
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no older man will be left in your house.
And thou shalt see an enemy in my
habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
You will see distress in My dwelling place.
Despite all
that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.
And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to
consume thine eyes, and to
grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
And every one of you
that I do not cut off from My altar, your eyes will fail and your heart will
grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.
And this shall be a sign unto thee,
that shall come upon thy two sons, on
Hophni and
Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons
Hophni and
Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
And I will raise me up a faithful priest,
that shall do according to
that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine
anointed for ever.
Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an
enduring house, and he will walk before My
anointed one for all time.
And it shall come to pass,
that every one
that is left in thine house shall come and
crouch to him for a piece of silver and a
morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices,
that I may eat a piece of bread.
And
everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a
morsel of bread,
pleading, “Please
appoint me to some priestly office so
that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”
And it came to pass at
that time, when
Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax
dim,
that he could not see;
And at
that time
Eli, whose
eyesight had grown so
dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.
That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to
Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou
didst call me. And
Eli perceived
that the LORD had called the child.
Once again, for the third time, the LORD called to Samuel. He got up, went to
Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” Then
Eli realized
that it was the LORD who was calling the boy.
Therefore
Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee,
that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
“Go and lie down,” he said to Samuel, “and if He calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is
listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one
that heareth it shall
tingle.
Then the LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel at which the ears of all who hear it will
tingle.
In
that day I will perform against
Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
On
that day I will carry out against
Eli everything I have spoken about his family, from beginning to end.
For I have told him
that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves
vile, and he restrained them not.
I told him
that I would judge his house
forever for the iniquity of which he knows, because his sons
blasphemed God and he did not restrain them.
And therefore I have
sworn unto the house of
Eli,
that the iniquity of
Eli’s house shall not be
purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
Therefore I have
sworn to the house of
Eli, ‘The iniquity of
Eli’s house shall never be
atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”
And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
“What was the message He gave you?”
Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God
punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.”
And all Israel from
Dan even to Beer-
sheba knew
that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
So all Israel from
Dan to
Beersheba knew
that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD
smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us
fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of
Shiloh unto us,
that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
When the troops returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why has the LORD brought defeat on us before the Philistines
today? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from
Shiloh, so
that it may go with us to save us from the hand of our enemies.”
So the people sent to
Shiloh,
that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of
Eli,
Hophni and
Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
So the people sent men to
Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts, who sits enthroned between the
cherubim. And the two sons of
Eli,
Hophni and
Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel
shouted with a great
shout, so
that the earth
rang again.
When the ark of the covenant of the LORD entered the camp, all the Israelites raised such a great
shout that it
shook the ground.
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the
shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great
shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood
that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
On hearing the noise of the
shout, the Philistines asked, “What is this loud
shouting in the camp of the Hebrews?” And when they realized
that the ark of the LORD had entered the camp,
