Chap. VI.
The Arke is sent backe with fiue emeroids and fiue mise of gold, vpon a new
wayne drawne by two milch kyne. 13. which coming directly to Bethsames
are sacrificed, the wayne seruing for fire, the Leuites kepe the Arke. 19.
Many others are slaine looking of curiositie into it.
1 Therefore the arke of God was in the country of
the Philisthijms seuen monethes.
2 And the Philisthijms
called the priestes and soothsaiers, saying: What shal
we doe with the arke of the Lord? tel vs how we may send it
backe into his place. Who said:
3 If you send back the
arke of the God of Israel, send it not away emptie, but that
which you owe render vnto it for sinne, and then you shal
be cured: and you shal know why his hand departeth not
from you.
4 Who answered: What is that which we ought
to render vnto it for sinne? And they answered:
5 According
to the number of the prouinces of the Philisthijms
you shal make fiue golden emroides, and fiue golden mise:
because there hath bene one plague to you, and to your
princes. And you shal make the similitudes of your emeroides,
and the similitudes of the mise, that haue destroied the
land, and you shal geue glorie to the God of Israel: if perhaps
he wil lighten his hand from you, and from your goddes and
from your land.
6 Why doe you harden your hartes, as note Ægypt
and Pharao did harden their hart? did not he after he
was striken, then dimisse them, and they departed?
7 Now
therfore take and make one new wayne: and two kine hauing
calued, on which there hath no yoke beene put, couple
in the wayne, and shut vp their calues at home.
8 And you
-- --
Samuel.
shal take the arke of the Lord, and put it in the wayne, and
the vessels of gold, which you haue payed him for sinne,
you shal put into a litle casket at the side thereof: and dimisse
it that it may goe.
9 And you shal looke: and if so be
that it shal goe vp by the way of his coastes against Bethsames,
he hath donne vs this great euil: but if not: we shal
know that his hand hath not touched vs, but it hath happened
by chance.
10 They therefore did in this maner: and taking
two kine, that had sucking calues, yoked them to the
wayne, and shut vp their calues at home.
11 And they layd
the arke of God vpon the wayne, and the litle casket, that had
the golden mise and the similitudes of emeroides.
12 And the
kine went directly by the way, that leadeth to Bethsames,
and they went one way, going forward and lowing: and they
declined not neither to the right hand nor to the left: but
the princes also of the Philistijms folowed vnto the borders
of Bethsames.
13 Moreouer the Bethsamites reaped wheat
in the valley: and lifting vp their eies, they saw the arke, and
were gladde when they had seene it.
14 And the wayne came
into the field of Iosue the Bethsamite, and stoode there. And
there was a great stone, and they did cut the wood of the
wayne, and layed the kine vpon it an holocaust to our
Lord.
15 And the Leuites tooke downe the arke of God,
and the litle casket, that was at the side of it, wherin were
the vessels of gold, and they put it vpon the great stone.
The men also of Bethsames offered holocaustes, and immolated
victimes that day to our Lord.
16 And the fiue princes
of the Philistijms saw, and returned into Accaron that day.
17 And these are the golden emeroides, which the Philistijms
rendred for sinne to our Lord: Azotus one, Gaza one, Ascalon
one, Geth one, Accaron one:
18 and the golden mise according
to the number of the cities of the Philistijms, of the fiue
prouinces, from walled citie vnto towne that was without
wal, and vnto Abel the great, wherupon they put the arke of
our Lord, which was vntil that day in the field of Iosue the
Bethsamite.
19 But he stroke of the men of Bethsames, for
that they had note seene the arke of our Lord: and he stroke of
the people seuentie men, and fiftie thousand of the common
people. And the people mourned, because our Lord had striken
the common people with a great plague.
20 And the men
of Bethsames sayd: Who shal be able to stand in the sight of
-- --
Samuel.
our Lord God this holie one? and to whom shal he goe vp
from vs?
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitantes of
Caria Thiarim, saying: The Philistijms haue brought backe
the arke of our Lord, come downe & fetch it backe vnto you.
