ISV(i)
19 God struck down the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the Ark of the LORD. He struck down 50,070 men among the people, and the people mourned because the LORD struck down the people with a great slaughter.
20 The men of Beth-shemesh asked themselves, “Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? And to whom will the Ark go from here?”
21 They sent messengers to the residents of Kiriath-jearim, who told them, “The Philistines have returned the Ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up with you.”
