1 After seven months the Philistines take counsel how to send
back the ark.
10 They bring it on a new cart with an offering unto
Beth-shemesh.
19 The people are smitten for looking into the ark.
21 They send to them of Kirjath-jearim to fetch it.

Bochart has collected many curious accounts relative to the
terrible devastations made by these mischievous animals.
William, Archbishop of Tyre, records, that in the beginning of
the twelfth century, a repentantial council was held at
Naplouse, where five and twenty canons were framed for the
correction of the manners of the inhabitants of the Christian
kingdom of Jerusalem, who they apprehended had provoked to
bring upon them the calamities of earthquakes, war, and
famine. This last he ascribes to locusts and devouring mice,
which had for four years together so destroyed the fruits of
the earth as to cause an almost total failure of their crops.
It was customary for the ancient heathen to offer to their
gods such monuments of their deliverance as represented the
evils from which they had been rescued; and Tavernier informs
us, that among the Indians, when a pilgrim goes to one of the
pagodas for a cure, he brings the figure of the member
affected, made of gold, silver, or copper, according to his
circumstances, which he offers to his god.

As it is very improbable that the village of Beth-shemesh
should contain, or be capable of employing, 50,070 men in the
fields at wheat harvest, much less that they could all peep
into the ark, and from the uncommon manner in which it is
expressed in the original, it is generally allowed that there
is some corruption in the text, or that some explanatory word
is omitted. The Hebrew is {shivim ish, chamishim aileph ish,}
literally, "seventy men, fifty thousand men:" so LXX.
[ .]
Vulgate, {septuaginta viros, et quinquaginta millia plebis,}
"70 (chief) men, and 50,000 common people." Targum, {besabey
ƒmma,} "of the elders of the people 70 men, {ovekahala,} and
in the congregation 50,000 men." But the Syriac, {chamsho
alphin weshivin gavrin,} "5,000 and 70 men;" with which the
Arabic agrees; while Josephus has only [ ,] seventy men;
and three reputable MSS. of Dr. Kennicott's also omit "50,000
men." Some learned men, however, would render, by supplying
[Mˆm,] {mem,} "70 men; fifty out of a thousand;" which
supposes about 1,400 present, and that a twentieth part were
slain.
