1 Samuel 4:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ The Philistines heard Israel’s shout and asked, “Why are the people so excited in the Hebrew^[a] camp?”

Then the Philistines learned that the Lord’s Holy Box had been brought into Israel’s camp. ⁷ They became afraid and said, “Gods have come to their camp! We’re in trouble. This has never happened before. ⁸ We are worried. Who can save us from these powerful gods? These gods are the same ones that gave the Egyptians those diseases and terrible sicknesses.
