Wherefore now¹ return,ª° and go²°¹ in peace,ª that thou displeaseªªª° not¹ the lordsª of the Philistines.ª" {1Sm 29:6-7} + "They sentª° therefore and gatheredª°¹ all¹ the lordsª of the Philistinesª unto¹ them, and said,ª° What¹ shall we doª° with the arkª of the Godª of Israel?ª And they answered,ª° Let the arkª of the Godª of Israelª be carried aboutª° unto Gath.ª And they carriedª°¹ the arkª of the Godª of Israelª about²° [thither]. ...
