1 Samuel 6:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Ark Returned to Israel

6 Now the ark of the Lord had been in the ^[a]country of the Philistines seven months. ² And ^(A)the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us ^[b]how we shall send it to its place.” ³ They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, ^(B)do not send it empty; but you shall surely ^(C)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.”
