1 Samuel

1 Samuel 6:17–18

¹⁷As a guilt offering to the LORD, the Philistines had sent back one gold tumor for each city: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. ¹⁸The number of gold rats also corresponded to the number of Philistine cities belonging to the five rulers — the fortified cities and their outlying villages. And the large rock^b on which they placed the ark of the LORD stands to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh.
