1 Samuel 6:17

The Return Of The Ark Of Covenant

¹⁶ And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. ¹⁷ These are the golden arses with hemorrhoids which the Philistines gave to amends for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one; for Gaza one; for Ashkelon one; for Gath one; and for Ekron one. ¹⁸ And the golden mice were according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines through the five lordships: both of walled towns and of towns unwalled, even unto the great stone whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
