Bible Reading for March 27

1 Samuel 4
[1] And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the
Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines
pitched in Aphek.
[2] And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they
joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the
army in the field about four thousand men. [3] And when the people were come
into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to
day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD
out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the
hand of our enemies. [4] So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring
from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth
between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there
with the ark of the covenant of God.
[5] And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel
shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. [6] And when the
Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of
this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark
of the LORD was come into the camp. [7] And the Philistines were afraid, for
they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there
hath not been such a thing heretofore.
[8] Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods?
these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the
wilderness.
[9] Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not
servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men,
and fight.
[10] And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every
man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of
Israel thirty thousand footmen.
[11] And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and
Phinehas, were slain.
[12] And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the
same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. [13] And when he
came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled
for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the
city cried out. [14] And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What
meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
[15] Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he
could not see.
[16] And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled
to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son? [17] And the
messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there
hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also,
Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
[18] And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell
from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he
died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
[19] And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be
delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and
that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and
travailed; for her pains came upon her. [20] And about the time of her death
the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son.
But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
[21] And she named the child I-chabod, saying, The glory is departed from
Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and
her husband.
[22] And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is
taken.

1 Samuel 5
[1] And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto
Ashdod.
[2] When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of
Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
[3] And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen
upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and
set him in his place again. [4] And when they arose early on the morrow
morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of
the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off
upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. [5] Therefore
neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on
the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. [6] But the hand of the LORD
was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with
emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. [7] And when the men of Ashdod saw
that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with
us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
[8] They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto
them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they
answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they
carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither. [9] And it was so, that,
after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with
a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and
great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
[10] Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the
ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have
brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
[11] So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and
said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own
place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction
throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. [12] And the men
that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to
heaven.

1 Samuel 6
[1] And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
[2] And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What
shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his
place.
[3] And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not
empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed,
and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you. [4] Then
said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?
They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the
number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on
your lords.
[5] Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice
that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure
he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off
your land.
[6] Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharoah
hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not
let the people go, and they departed? [7] Now therefore make a new cart, and
take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the
cart, and bring their calves home from them:
[8] And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels
of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side
thereof; and send it away, that it may go. [9] And see, if it goeth up by the
way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but
if not, then we shall know that is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance
that happened to us. [10] And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied
them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
[11] And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the
mice of gold and the images of their emerods. [12] And the kine took the
straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as
they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords
of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
[13] And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley:
and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
[14] And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood
there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and
offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD. [15] And the Levites took down
the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of
gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered
burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD. [16] And
when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the
same day.
[17] And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a
trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one,
for Gath one, for Ekron one;
[18] And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the
Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country
villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of
the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the
Beth-shemite.
[19] And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark
of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten
men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people
with a great slaughter.
[20] And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy
LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us? [21] And they sent messengers to
the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again
the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.

1 Samuel 7
[1] And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and
brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his
son to keep the ark of the LORD. [2] And it came to pass, while the ark abode
in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the
house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
[3] And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto
the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth
from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and
he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. [4] Then the children
of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
[5] And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto
the LORD.
[6] And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out
before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against
the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. [7] And when the
Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh,
the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of
Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. [8] And the children of
Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he
will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
[9] And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly
unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard
him.
[10] And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew
near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on
that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten
before Israel.
[11] And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and
smote them, until they came under Beth-car. [12] Then Samuel took a stone, and
set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying,
Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. [13] So the Philistines were subdued, and
they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was
against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
[14] And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored
to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver
out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the
Amorites.
[15] And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. [16] And he went from
year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in
all those places. [17] And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house;
and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
