1 Samuel 6:1-3

Modern English Version

The Ark Returned to Israel

6 Now the ark of the Lord had been in the country of the Philistines seven months. ² The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us how we should send it to its place.”

³ They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to Him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.”
