1 SAMUEL 5:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.”
So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, saying: Why have they brought around to us the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people?—the *ishshe Ekron* (men of Ekron) recognize the ark's deadly presence. Their *za'akah* (cry) is one of desperation; they see themselves as doomed by the ark's arrival.
