1 Samuel 6:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ But the Lord killed seventy of the men of Beth-shemesh because they looked into the Ark. And the people mourned because of the many people whom the Lord had killed.

²⁰ “Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God?” they cried out. “Where can we send the Ark from here?”

²¹ So they sent messengers to the people at Kiriath-jearim and told them that the Philistines had brought back the Ark of the Lord.

“Come and get it!” they begged.
