1 Samuel 6:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version

2 The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners[a] and asked, “What should we do with the Lord’s ark? Advise us how we should send it back to its place.”

3 They said, “If you send away the Ark of the God of Israel, do not send it away empty, but, by all means, send it to him with a restitution offering. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been removed from you.”[b]

They said, “There are five serens of the Philistines, so five gold tumors and five gold mice should be sent, because the same plague was on all of you and on your serens.
