1 Samuel 6:19-21
Revised Standard Version
The Ark at Kiriath-jearim
19 And he slew some of the men of Beth-she′mesh, because they looked into the ark of the Lord; he slew seventy men of them,[a] and the people mourned because the Lord had made a great slaughter among the people. 20 Then the men of Beth-she′mesh said, “Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? And to whom shall he go up away from us?” 21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kir′iath-je′arim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Come down and take it up to you.”
