1 Samuel 5:11-12

Good News Translation

¹¹ So again they sent for all the Philistine kings and said, “Send the Covenant Box of Israel back to its own place, so that it won't kill us and our families.” There was panic throughout the city because God was punishing them so severely. ¹² Even those who did not die developed tumors and the people cried out to their gods for help.
