King James Version with Apocrypha
"And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:"
— 1 Samuel 6:10, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:”
“And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home; ”
“The men did so, and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;”
“So the men did as instructed. They took two cows that had calves and harnessed them to a cart; they also removed their calves to their stalls.”
“They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had sucking calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.”
“And the men did so; they took two cows, yoking them to the cart and shutting up their young ones in their living-place:”
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:
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.
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 it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.
And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
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.
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.
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.
