ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૫:૧૦
તેથી તેઓએ ઈશ્વરના કોશને એક્રોનમાં મોકલ્યો. પણ જયારે ઈશ્વરનો કોશ એક્રોનમાં આવ્યો ત્યારે એમ થયું કે, એક્રોનીઓએ રડીને, કહ્યું, “તેઓ અમારો તથા અમારા લોકોનો સંહાર કરવાને ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વરનો કોશ અમારી પાસે લાવ્યા છે.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ५:१०
तब उन्होंने परमेश्वर का सन्दूक एक्रोन को भेजा और जैसे ही परमेश्वर का सन्दूक एक्रोन में पहुँचा वैसे ही एक्रोनी यह कहकर चिल्लाने लगे, “इस्राएल के देवता का सन्दूक घुमाकर हमारे पास इसलिए पहुँचाया गया है, कि हम और हमारे लोगों को मरवा डालें।”

In context

8They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.

9It was so, that after they had carried it there, the LORD’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them.

10So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”

11They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.

12The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
