1 Samuel 6:14-18

[14] And the cart  came  into the field  of Joshua,  a Bethshemite,  and stood  there, where there was a great  stone:  and they clave  the wood  of the cart,  and offered  the kine  a burnt offering  unto the LORD.  [15] And the Levites  took down  the ark  of the LORD,  and the coffer  that was with it, wherein the jewels  of gold  were, and put  them on the great  stone:  of Bethshemesh  offered  burnt offerings  and sacrificed  sacrifices  the same day  unto the LORD.  [16] And when the five  lords  of the Philistines  had seen  it, they returned  to Ekron  the same day.  [17] And these are the golden  emerods  which the Philistines  returned  for a trespass offering  unto the LORD;  for Ashdod  one,  for Gaza  one,  for Askelon  one,  for Gath  one,  for Ekron  one;  [18] And the golden  mice,  according to the number  of all the cities  of the Philistines  belonging to the five  lords,  both of fenced  cities,  and of country  villages,  even unto the great  stone of Abel,  whereon they set down  the ark  of the LORD:  which stone remaineth unto this day  in the field  of Joshua,  the Bethshemite.
