The Philistines Take the Ark - 1 Samuel 4-6

The Philistines Take the Ark

[21] And Yahweh appeared again at Shiloh, because Yahweh revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Yahweh. 
[1Sa 3:21 LSB]

[1] Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped in Aphek. 
[1Sa 4:1 LSB]

The Death of Eli

[22] And she said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God was taken." 
[1Sa 4:22 LSB]

Yahweh’s Hand Against the Philistines

[4] But they arose early the next morning, and behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off on the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. 
[1Sa 5:4 LSB]

The Ark Returned to Israel

[19] Then He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of Yahweh. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because Yahweh had struck the people with a great slaughter. 
[1Sa 6:19 LSB]
