1 Samuel 6:1 WEB

¹  The ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

²  The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, 'What shall we do with the ark of Yahweh? Show us with which we shall send it to its place.'

³  They said, 'If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don't send it empty; but by all means return him a trespass-offering: then you shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.'
