So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 5 of 1 Samuel. The hand of the Lord becomes heavy upon the Philistine cities through affliction and disorder. The inhabitants realize that the ark’s presence cannot be treated as mere war booty and begin seeking a way to return it. The episode develops a central irony: Israel brought the ark into battle hoping to obtain power through it, while the Philistines discover that even a defeated nation possesses a God whose presence demands reverence. The Lord’s power is demonstrated without Israel having to intervene.
