1 Chronicles 13:8

Let us bring again the ark . It had been removed from Shiloh ( Joshua 18:1 ) at the instance of "the elders of Israel" to their camp, when they were hard pressed and smitten by the Philistines ( 1 Samuel 4:1-4 ); there it was taken by the Philistines ( 1 Samuel 4:11 , 1 Samuel 4:22 ), and hurried from Ashdod to Ekron and on to Bethshemesh ( 1 Samuel 5:1-12 . l, 5, 8, 10; 1 Samuel 6:9-13 ). For we inquired not at it in the days of Saul . The allusion may be considered delicately worded, but an inexpressible pathos and unmeasured condemnation must be imagined as clinging to this sentence, illustrated further by 1 Samuel 7:2 ; 1 Samuel 28:6 , 1 Samuel 28:15 , 1 Samuel 28:16 ; 1 Chronicles 10:14 .
