1 Samuel 5:11

Kaya pinatawag nila at sama-samang tinipon ang lahat ng mga namumuno ng mga Filisteo; sinabi nila sa kanila, “Ilayo ninyo ang kaban ng Diyos ng Israel, at hayaang bumalik ito sa sariling lugar nito, upang hindi tayo nito patayin at ating mga tao.” Dahil nagkaroon na ng isang nakamamatay na takot sa buong siyudad; napakabigat ng kamay ng Diyos doon.

So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
