“They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.”
So they sent and gathered together all the rulers of the Philistines, and said: What should we do with the ark of the God of Israel? The inhabitants of Gath said: Let the ark of God be moved to us—the council of *Pelishtim* (Philistine lords) seeks counsel. The men of Gath volunteer to receive the ark, perhaps confident in their ability to manage it or unaware of the judgment.
