1 Samuel 4:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ The Philistines heard the loud noise. They asked each other, ‘What is happening there among the Hebrew people's army?’^[a] Then they realized that the Lord's Covenant Box had arrived there. ⁷ They were afraid and they said, ‘Their gods have come to help them fight! We are in bad trouble. Nothing like this has happened to us before. ⁸ This is terrible! Nobody can save us from those powerful gods. Those gods punished the Egyptians with many bad diseases in the desert.
