1 SAMUEL 5:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.”
They sent therefore and gathered together all the rulers of the Philistines, and said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people—the unanimous Philistine judgment is to *shallach et-aron Elohim* (send away the ark), acknowledging that its *own place* (*mekomu*) is not Philistine territory. Their surrender is absolute.
