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.
Pinasuguan nga nilang magpipisan ang lahat ng pangulo ng mga Filisteo, at kanilang sinabi, Ipadala ninyo ang kaban ng Dios ng Israel, at ipabalik ninyo sa kaniyang sariling dako, upang huwag kaming patayin at ang aming bayan. Sapagka't nagkaroon ng panglitong ikamamatay sa buong bayan: ang kamay ng Dios ay totoong bumigat doon.
