1 Samuel 6:19-21

New Life Version

¹⁹ The Lord killed some of the men of Bethshemesh because they had looked into the special box of the Lord. He killed 70 (50,070) men. And the people were filled with sorrow because the Lord had killed so many of them.

The Special Box at Kiriath-jearim

²⁰ The men of Bethshemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? To whom can we send Him?” ²¹ So they sent men to the people living in Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the special box of the Lord. Come down and get it.”
