    6Why do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he dealt severely with them, didn’t they let the Israelites go, and they departed?

    11Then they placed the ark of the LORD on the cart, along with the box containing the gold mice and the models of their tumors.

    12The cows went straight up the road toward Beth Shemesh, staying on the main highway. They kept lowing as they went, without turning to the right or left. The rulers of the Philistines followed them until the border of Beth Shemesh.

    13Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley. When they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight.

    14The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh and stopped there beside a large stone. They chopped up the wood of the cart, and they offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

    15The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box containing the gold objects and placed them on the large stone. That day, the people of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the LORD.

    16When the five rulers of the Philistines saw what happened, they returned to Ekron that same day.

    17These are the gold tumors the Philistines sent as a guilt offering to the LORD: one each for Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.

    18And the gold mice represented the number of all the Philistine towns belonging to the five rulers, from fortified cities to rural villages. The large stone where they set the ark of the LORD remains in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh to this day.

    19But God struck down some of the men of Beth Shemesh because they looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down seventy men, and the people mourned because the LORD had inflicted them with a great blow.

    20The people of Beth Shemesh asked, "Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? And to whom should we send it to get it away from us?"

    21So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up to you."
