1 Samuel 6:10-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. The men did so, and took two milk cows and yoked them to the cart and shut up their calves at home.

11. And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors.

12. And the cows went straight in the direction of Beth-shemesh along one highway, lowing as they went. They turned neither to the right nor to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh.

13. Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley. And when they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced to see it.
