1 Samuel 6:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ You must watch; if it goes up by the way of its territory to Beth Shemesh, he has caused this great disaster to come on us. But if not, then we will know his hand has not struck us; it was by chance that this happened to us. ¹⁰ So the men did so; they took two milking cows and harnessed them to the utility cart, but they shut up their calves in the stall. ¹¹ Then they put the ark of Yahweh on the utility cart with the container^[a] holding the gold mice and the images of their tumors.
