5. And when the Aron Brit Hashem came into the machaneh, kol Yisroel shouted with a teru'ah gedolah, so that ha'aretz shook.
6. And when the Pelishtim (Philistines) heard the kol hateruah, they said, What meaneth kol hateruah hagedolah hazot in the machaneh HaIvrit? And they understood that the Aron Hashem was come into the machaneh.
7. And the Pelishtim (Philistines) were afraid, for they said, elohim is come into the machaneh. And they said, Oy lanu! For there hath not been such a thing as this heretofore.
8. Oy lanu! Who shall save us out of the yad of these elohim ha'adirim (mighty g-ds)? These are the g-ds that struck the Mitzrayim with kol makkah (all the plagues) in the midbar.
9. Be strong and conduct yourselves like anashim, O ye Pelishtim (Philistines), that ye be not avadim unto the Ivrim (Hebrews), as they have been subject to you; conduct yourselves like anashim, and fight.
10. And the Pelishtim fought, and Yisroel was defeated, and they fled every ish into his ohel; and there was makkah gedolah me'od (a very great slaughter); for there fell of Yisroel shloshim elef foot soldiers.
11. And the Aron Elohim was captured; and the two Bnei Eli, Chophni and Pinchas, died.
12. And there ran an ish of Binyamin out of the ma'arakhah (battleground), and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and with adamah upon his rosh.
