1 Samuel 5:11

Listen to 1 Samuel 5:11
11 Enviaron, pues, y reunieron a todos los pr铆ncipes de los filisteos, y dijeron: Sacad de aqu铆 el arca del Dios de Israel, y que vuelva a su sitio, para que no nos mate a nosotros y a nuestro pueblo. Porque hab铆a un p谩nico mortal por toda la ciudad; la mano de Dios se hizo muy pesada all铆.

1 Samuel 5:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 5:11

So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the
Philistines
As the men of Ashdod had done before on the same account, ( 1 Samuel 5:8 )

and said, send away the ark of the God of Israel;
as these lords were united in their government, and made one common cause of it against Israel, one could not dispose of this capture without the consent of the rest; otherwise the lord of Ekron, with his princes, were clearly in it that it was right and best to send it away out of any of their principalities:

and let it go again to its own place;
to the land of Israel and Shiloh there, though to that it never returned more:

that it slay us not, and our people;
that is, all of them, for great numbers had been slain already, as follows:

for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city;
a mortal disease went through the whole city, and swept away a multitude of people:

the hand of God was very heavy there;
it seems by the expression to haste been heavier on the inhabitants of this city than upon those of Ashdod and Gath, which made them the more pressing to get rid of the ark.

1 Samuel 5:11 In-Context

9 Y sucedi贸 que cuando la hab铆an trasladado, la mano del SE脩OR estuvo contra la ciudad causando gran confusi贸n; e hiri贸 a los hombres de la ciudad, desde el menor hasta el mayor, sali茅ndoles tumores.
10 Entonces enviaron el arca de Dios a Ecr贸n. Y sucedi贸 que cuando el arca de Dios lleg贸 a Ecr贸n, los ecronitas clamaron, diciendo: Han tra铆do el arca del Dios de Israel hasta nosotros para matarnos a nosotros y a nuestro pueblo.
11 Enviaron, pues, y reunieron a todos los pr铆ncipes de los filisteos, y dijeron: Sacad de aqu铆 el arca del Dios de Israel, y que vuelva a su sitio, para que no nos mate a nosotros y a nuestro pueblo. Porque hab铆a un p谩nico mortal por toda la ciudad; la mano de Dios se hizo muy pesada all铆.
12 Y los hombres que no murieron fueron heridos con tumores, y el clamor de la ciudad subi贸 hasta el cielo.
