1 Samuel 6:19-21
Common English Bible
19 But God struck down some of the people from Beth-shemesh because they looked into the Lord’s chest. God struck seventy people,[a] and the community grieved because the Lord had struck them so severely. 20 The people of Beth-shemesh said, “Who can stand before the Lord, this holy God? Where can he go that is away from us here?” 21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim. “The Philistines returned the Lord’s chest!” they said. “Come down and take it back with you.”
