1 SAMUEL 6:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the men of Beth–shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go up from us?”
The people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter—*vayispdu enosh ha'ir* (the men of the city mourned), recognizing the divine punishment. The *machatz gadol* (great strike, plague) is a reminder that the ark's holiness is terrible; improper proximity to it brings death.
