They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that is slay us not, and our people. For there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Þerfor þei senten, and gaderiden alle þe wise men, ethir princes, of Filisteis; whiche seiden, Delyuere ye þe arke of God of Israel, and turne it ayen in to his place, and sle not vs with oure puple.
