ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૫:૮
માટે તેઓએ માણસ મોકલીને પલિસ્તીઓના સર્વ અધિકારીઓને એકઠા કર્યા; તેઓએ તેમને કહ્યું, “ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વરના કોશનું અમારે શું કરવું?” તેઓએ ઉત્તર આપ્યો કે, ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વરનો કોશ અહીંથી ગાથમાં લઈ જાઓ, અને તેઓ ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વરનો કોશ ત્યાં લઈ ગયા.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ५:८
तब उन्होंने पलिश्तियों के सब सरदारों को बुलवा भेजा, और उनसे पूछा, “हम इस्राएल के देवता के सन्दूक से क्या करें ?” वे बोले, “इस्राएल के देवता का सन्दूक घुमाकर गत नगर में पहुँचाया जाए।” अत: उन्होंने इस्राएल के परमेश्वर के सन्दूक को घुमाकर गत में पहुँचा दिया।

In context

6But the LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.

7When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.”

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.”
