SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:17
Estas pues son las hemorroides de oro que pagaron los filisteos al SEÑOR en expiación: por Asdod una, por Gaza una, por Ascalón una, por Gat una, por Ecrón una;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 6:17
Verse 17. These are the golden emerods] Each of these cities, in what may be called its corporate capacity, sent a golden emerod.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the Lord , etc.] Along with the ark: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon, one, for Gath one, for Ekron one ; which were the five principalities of the Philistines that belonged to the five lords before mentioned; and each of these were at the expense of a golden emerod, and sent it along with the ark to make atonement for the offence they had been guilty of in taking and detaining it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-18 - These two kine knew their owner, their great Owner, whom Hophin an Phinehas knew not. God's providence takes notice even of brut creatures, and serves its own purposes by them. When the reapers saw the ark, they rejoiced; their joy for that was greater than the joy of harvest. The return of the ark, and the revival of holy ordinances after days of restraint and trouble, are matters of great joy.
