1 SAMUEL 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.”
But after they had moved it, the hand of the LORD was against the city, causing a very great panic; he struck the inhabitants of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them—even in Gath, the plague (*shikim*) and panic (*mehumah* literally, 'tumult') follow. The *mehumah Elohit* (God-sent panic) is cosmic disorder reflecting divine wrath.
