1 SAMUEL 5:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.”
For there was a deadly panic throughout the whole city, the hand of God was very heavy there. The people who did not die were struck with tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven—the cumulative effect is total disruption: the plague (*shikim*) and divine hand (*yad Elohim*) reduce the city to chaos. The *tz'akah* (cry) reaches heaven, invoking divine attention to their plight.
