1 Samuel 6:20 in Context — 1 Samuel 6
18 Il y avait aussi des souris d’or selon le nombre de toutes les villes des Philistins, appartenant aux cinq chefs, tant des villes fortifiées que des villages sans murailles. C’est ce qu’atteste la grande pierre sur laquelle on déposa l’arche de l’Éternel, et qui est encore aujourd’hui dans le champ de Josué de Beth-Schémesch.
19 L’Éternel frappa les gens de Beth-Schémesch, lorsqu’ils regardèrent l’arche de l’Éternel; il frappa [cinquante mille] soixante-dix hommes parmi le peuple. Et le peuple fut dans la désolation, parce que l’Éternel l’avait frappé d’une grande plaie.
20 Les gens de Beth-Schémesch dirent: Qui peut subsister en présence de l’Éternel, de ce Dieu saint? Et vers qui l’arche doit-elle monter, en s’éloignant de nous?
21 Ils envoyèrent des messagers aux habitants de Kirjath-Jearim, pour leur dire: Les Philistins ont ramené l’arche de l’Éternel; descendez, et faites-la monter vers vous.
