09:006:016 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they
           returned to Ekron the same day.

09:006:017 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines
           returned for a trespass offering unto the lord; for Ashdod
           one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron
           one;

09:006:018 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities
           of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced
           cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of
           Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the lord:  which stone
           remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the
           Bethshemite.

09:006:019 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked
           into the ark of the lord, even he smote of the people fifty
           thousand and threescore and ten men:  and the people lamented,
           because the lord had smitten many of the people with a great
           slaughter.

09:006:020 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before
           this holy lord God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

09:006:021 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim,
           saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the
           lord; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.

09:007:001 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of
           the lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the
           hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the
           lord.

09:007:002 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim,
           that the time was long; for it was twenty years:  and all the
           house of Israel lamented after the lord.

09:007:003 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye
           do return unto the lord with all your hearts, then put away
           the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare
           your hearts unto the lord, and serve him only:  and he will
           deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

09:007:004 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth,
           and served the lord only.

09:007:005 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray
           for you unto the lord.

09:007:006 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and
           poured it out before the lord, and fasted on that day, and
           said there, We have sinned against the lord.  And Samuel judged
           the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

09:007:007 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel
           were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines
           went up against Israel.  And when the children of Israel heard
           it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
