3. And when the people returned into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has the Lord smitten us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us that when it comes among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4. So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the hosts, who dwells between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5. And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted with such a great shout that the earth trembled.
6. And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What great shout of joy is this in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp.
