1 Samuel 5:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

This chapter relates to us the history of the ark of God while in captivity. The Philistines for a short space rejoice over their spoil. But this joy is turned into sorrow. God visits the Philistines with plagues, till at length they are constrained to call a council in order to deliver them from what at the first they considered a great triumph.

1 Samuel 5:1

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
