They 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.

ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૫:૧૧
માટે તેઓએ માણસ મોકલીને પલિસ્તીઓના સર્વ અધિકારીઓને એકઠા કર્યા; તેઓએ તેમને કહ્યું, ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વરનો કોશ મોકલી દો, તેને પોતાની જગ્યાએ પાછો જવા દો, કે તે અમારો તથા અમારા લોકોનો સંહાર ન કરે.” કેમ કે આખા નગરમાં ભયંકર સંહાર થયો હતો; ઈશ્વરનો હાથ ત્યાં ઘણો ભારે થયો હતો.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ५:११
तब उन्होंने पलिश्तियों के सब सरदारों को इकट्ठा किया, और उनसे कहा, “इस्राएल के देवता के सन्दूक को निकाल दो, कि वह अपने स्थान पर लौट जाए, और हमको और हमारे लोगों को मार डालने न पाए।” उस समस्त नगर में तो मृत्यु के भय की हलचल मच रही थी, और परमेश्वर का हाथ वहाँ बहुत भारी पड़ा था।

In context

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.
