So they determined that these men spake well; and they immediately
confirmed their opinion by doing accordingly. And when they had done as
has been already described, they brought the cart to a place where three
ways met, and left it there and went their ways; but the kine went the
right way, and as if some persons had driven them, while the rulers of
the Philistines followed after them, as desirous to know where they would
stand still, and to whom they would go. Now there was a certain village
of the tribe of Judah, the name of which was Bethshemesh, and to that village
did the kine go; and though there was a great and good plain before them
to proceed in, they went no farther, but stopped the cart there. This was
a sight to those of that village, and they were very glad; for it being
then summer-time, and all the inhabitants being then in the fields gathering
in their fruits, they left off the labors of their hands for joy, as soon
as they saw the ark, and ran to the cart, and taking the ark down, and
the vessel that had the images in it, and the mice, they set them upon
a certain rock which was in the plain; and when they had offered a splendid
sacrifice to God, and feasted, they offered the cart and the kine as a
burnt-offering: and when the lords of the Philistines saw this, they returned
back.
