Matthew(i)
3 And when the people were come into theyr tentes, the elders of Israel sayde: wherfore hath the Lord beaten vs thys daye before the Philistines? let vs fetche the arcke of the appoyntment of the Lorde, oute of Siloh vnto vs, & let it come among vs, & saue vs out of the handes of oure enemyes.
4 And the people sent to Siloh, and fet from thence the arcke of the appoyntment of the Lorde of hostes whiche dwelleth betwene the Cherubyns. And there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni & Phinehes with the arcke of the apoyntment of God.
5 And when the arcke of the appoyntment of the Lord came into the host, all Israell shouted a myghty shout, so that the earth rang agayne.
6 When the Philistines heard the noyse of the shoute they sayde: what meaneth the sound of thys myghtye shout in the host of the Ebrues? And they vnderstode how that the arcke of the Lorde was come into the host.
7 And the Philistines were afrayd, when it was tolde howe the God was come into the host & said. Wo vnto vs, for it was neuer so before thys.
8 Wo vnto vs, who shall delyuer vs out of the hand of thys myghtye God? this is the God that smote the Egipcians wt al maner of plages in the wyldernesse.
9 Be stronge & quite youre selues lyke men, ye Philistines, that ye be not seruauntes vnto the Ebrues, as they haue bene to you. Be men therfore & fight.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was put to the worsse and fledde, euery man into his tent. And there was a myghty great slaughter, so that there were ouerthrowen of Israel, thyrtye thousande fotemen.
11 And the arcke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni & Phinehes were dead.
