1 Samuel 6:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ Keep watching it. If it goes up along the road to its own territory to Beth-shemesh, it’s the Lord^[a] who has done this great evil to us. But if it does not, then we will know that he wasn’t pressuring us. It happened to us as a natural event.”

¹⁰ The men did this. They took two milk cows, hitched them to the cart, and penned up their calves in the house. ¹¹ They put the Ark of the Lord, the box, the gold mice, and the images of their tumors on the cart.
