And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Verse 12 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.

Und welche Leute nicht starben, die wurden geschlagen mit Beulen, daß das Geschrei der Stadt auf gen Himmel ging.
Y los que no morían, eran heridos de hemorroides; y el clamor de la ciudad subía al cielo.
Les gens qui ne mouraient pas étaient frappés d'hémorroïdes, et les cris de la ville montaient jusqu'au ciel.
E gli uomini che non morivano erano percossi di morici; e il grido della città salì infino al cielo
E os homens que não morriam eram tão atacados com hemorróidas que o clamor da cidade subia até o céu.
沒有死的人都受痔瘡的折磨。城裏的哀聲上達於天。
