1 Samuel 5:9-11

Names of God Bible

⁹ But after they had moved it,^[a] Yahweh threw the city into a great panic: He struck all the important and unimportant people in the city, and they were covered with tumors. ¹⁰ So the people of Gath sent the ark of Elohim to Ekron. But when the ark of Elohim came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They brought the ark of the Elohim of Israel here to kill us.” ¹¹ They called together all the Philistine rulers. “Send the ark of the Elohim of Israel away,” they said. “Let it go back to its own place so that it won’t kill us or our people.” There was a fear of death throughout the city, where Elohim dealt with them very harshly.
