1 Samuel 5:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 5
6 La main de l’Éternel s’appesantit sur les Asdodiens, et il mit la désolation parmi eux; il les frappa d’hémorroïdes à Asdod et dans son territoire.
7 Voyant qu’il en était ainsi, les gens d’Asdod dirent: L’arche du Dieu d’Israël ne restera pas chez nous, car il appesantit sa main sur nous et sur Dagon, notre dieu.
8 Et ils firent chercher et assemblèrent auprès d’eux tous les princes des Philistins, et ils dirent: Que ferons-nous de l’arche du Dieu d’Israël? Les princes répondirent: Que l’on transporte à Gath l’arche du Dieu d’Israël. Et l’on y transporta l’arche du Dieu d’Israël.
9 Mais après qu’elle eut été transportée, la main de l’Éternel fut sur la ville, et il y eut une très grande consternation; il frappa les gens de la ville depuis le petit jusqu’au grand, et ils eurent une éruption d’hémorroïdes.
10 Alors ils envoyèrent l’arche de Dieu à Ékron. Lorsque l’arche de Dieu entra dans Ékron, les Ékroniens poussèrent des cris, en disant: On a transporté chez nous l’arche du Dieu d’Israël, pour nous faire mourir, nous et notre peuple!
