1 Samuel 4:8-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ Woe to us, who will rescue us from the hand of these magnificent gods? These are the gods that slaughtered the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness. ⁹ Show some courage and be men, Philistines!^(A) Otherwise, you’ll serve the Hebrews just as they served you.^(B) Now be men and fight!”

¹⁰ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated,^(C) and each man fled to his tent.^(D) The slaughter was severe—30,000 of the Israelite foot soldiers fell.
