1. Samuelsbok 5,11

9 Men etter at de hadde flyttet den, var Herrens hånd mot den byen også. Han brakte stor panikk over den, og plaget byens folk, både unge og gamle, med svulster, og de brøt ut i byen.

10 Så sendte de Guds ark til Ekron. Men da arken kom til Ekron, ropte folket: «De har brakt Israels Guds ark til oss for å drepe oss og vårt folk!»

Så kalte de sammen alle filisternes herskere og sa: «Send Israels Guds ark bort. La den gå tilbake til sitt eget sted, så den ikke dreper oss og vårt folk.» For død og panikk hadde fylt byen; Guds hånd var meget tung der.

12 De som overlevde, ble plaget med svulster, og byens rop steg opp til himmelen.

Her forteller Bibelen en historie om noen andre. Spør deg selv hva den kan si oss i dag. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
