Ark » In the tabernacle. Called the ark » Taken to battle
And Joshua the son of Nun called unto the priests, and said unto them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD." And he said unto the people, "Go and compass the city: And let the men of arms go before the ark of the LORD." And when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests that bare the seven trumpets of rams horns before the ark of the LORD went forth and blew with the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed after them. read more.
And the men of arms went before the priests that blew with the horns, and the common people came after the ark: and as they went, they blew with the horns. And Joshua commanded the people, saying, "Shout not nor let your voice be heard, or any word proceed out of your mouths, until the day I bid you shout: and then shout." And so the ark of the LORD compassed the city and went about it once: and then they returned unto the host and lodged there. And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD, and seven priests bare seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD, and as they went, blew with the horns. And the men of arms went before them, and the common people came after the ark of the LORD: and as they went, they blew with the horns. And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned again into the host, and so they did six days long. And the seventh day they rose early: even with the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only that they compassed the city seven times. And at the seventh time, the priests blew with the horns, and Joshua said unto the people, "Shout! For the LORD hath given you the city. But the city shall be excommunicate, both it and all that is therein, unto the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, both she and all that is with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. And in any wise beware of the excommunicate things, lest ye make yourselves excommunicate. For if you take of the excommunicate things, so shall you make the host of Israel excommunicate and shall trouble it. But all the silver, gold, vessels of brass and iron shall be holy unto the LORD and shall go into his treasury." And the people cried, and blew with horns: for when the people heard the sound of the horns, they shouted a great shout. And the walls fell down, and the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and took the city.

And when the people were come into their tents, the elders of Israel said, "Wherefore hath the LORD beaten us this day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD, out of Shiloh unto us, and let it come among us and save us out of the hands of our enemies." And the people sent to Shiloh, and fetched from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts which dwelleth between the Cherubims. And there were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas with the ark of the covenant of God. And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the host, all Israel shouted a mighty shout, so that the earth rang again. read more.
When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout they said, "What meaneth the sound of this mighty shout in the host of the Hebrews?" And they understood how that the ark of the LORD was come into the host. And the Philistines were afraid, when it was told how that God was come into the host and said, "Woe unto us, for it was never so before this. Woe unto us, who shall deliver us out of the hand of this mighty God? This is the God that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness. Be strong and quit yourselves like men, ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men therefore and fight." And the Philistines fought, and Israel was put to the worse and fled, every man into his tent. And there was a mighty great slaughter, so that there were overthrown of Israel, thirty thousand footmen. And the ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas were dead. And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the array and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent and earth upon his head. And when the man came in, Eli sat upon a stool by the wayside looking: for his heart feared for the ark of God. And the man came in and told it in the city. And all the city cried. When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he asked what the noise of that rumour meant. And the man hasted and came in and told Eli. Eli was four score and eighteen years old, and his sight failed him that he could not see. And the man said unto Eli, "I am he that came out of the array and fled out of the host this day." And he said, "How is it fortuned, my son?" And the messenger answered and said, "Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there is a great slaughter chanced among the people, and thy two sons Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and thereto the ark of God is taken." And when he made mention of the ark of God, Eli fell from off his stool backward toward the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was old and unwieldy. And he had judged Israel forty years. And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child and nigh the birth. And when she heard the tidings of the taking of the ark of God, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed, for her pains came upon her. And about the time of her death, the women that stood about her, said unto her, "Fear not for thou hast borne a son." But she answered not, nor regarded it. And she named the child Ichabod saying, "Honour is departed from Israel" - Because the ark of God was taken, and her father-in-law and her husband were dead. And therefore she said, "Honour is gone from Israel," because the ark of God was taken.

And all the people shall hear and shall fear, and shall do no more presumptuously.
Paul beheld the council and said, "Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day." The high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth. Then said Paul to him, "God shall smite thee, thou painted wall. Sittest thou and judgest me after the law: and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?" read more.
And they that stood by said, "Revilest thou God's high priest?" Then said Paul, "I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest. For it is written, 'Thou shalt not curse the ruler of thy people.'"

Then assembled together the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiaphas:
When they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning and taught. The chief priest came and they that were with him and called a council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to fetch them. When the ministers came and found them not in the prison, they returned and told, saying, "The prison found we shut as sure as was possible and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened we found no man within." read more.
When the chief priest of all and the ruler of the temple and the high priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow. Then came one and showed them, "Behold, the men that ye put in prison stand in the temple, and teach the people." Then went the ruler of the temple with ministers, and brought them without violence.

And the chief priest asked them, saying, "Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and ye intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?"
Yet is there none, that will chasten nor reprove another. The priests which should reform other men, are become like the people.
