1 Samuel 6:17

The Return Of The Ark Of Covenant

¹⁶ And the five lords of the Philistines, having seen it, went back to Ekron the same day. ¹⁷ Now these are the gold images which the Philistines sent as a sin-offering to the Lord; one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron; ¹⁸ And the gold mice, one for every town of the Philistines, the property of the five lords, walled towns as well as country places: and the great stone where they put the ark of the Lord is still in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite to this day.
