1 Samuel 4:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ When the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, ‘What does this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?’ When they learned that the ark of the Lord had come to the camp, ⁷ the Philistines were afraid; for they said, ‘Gods have^[a] come into the camp.’ They also said, ‘Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before. ⁸ Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with every sort of plague in the wilderness.
