³ They answered, “If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift;^(A) by all means send a guilt offering^(B) to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand^(C) has not been lifted from you.”

⁴ The Philistines asked, “What guilt offering should we send to him?”

They replied, “Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number^(A) of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague^(B) has struck both you and your rulers.

⁷ They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s^(A) house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it.
