1 Samuel 6:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 The number of gold mice also corresponded to the number of Philistine cities of the five rulers, the fortified cities and the outlying villages.(A) The large rock[a](B) on which the ark of the Lord was placed is in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh to this day.
19 God struck down the men of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the Lord.[b](C) He struck down 70 men out of 50,000 men.[c] The people mourned because the Lord struck them with a great slaughter. 20 The men of Beth-shemesh asked, “Who is able to stand in the presence of this holy Lord God?(D) Who should the ark go to from here?”
