The Israelites asked the LORD( for the ark of God’s covenant was there in those days;

那时，神的约柜在那里；亚伦的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈侍立在约柜前。以色列人问耶和华说：“我们当再出去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗呢？还是罢兵呢？”耶和华说：“你们当上去，因为明日我必将他们交在你们手中。”

以色列人去求问耶和华；那时，上帝的约柜在那里。

那时，上帝的约柜就在那里，亚伦的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈任祭司。以色列人求问耶和华，说：“我们应该再去攻打我们的同胞便雅悯人吗？还是退兵？”耶和华说：“去攻打吧，因为明天我必把他们交在你们手中。”

那时，神的约柜在那里。

那時，神的約櫃在那裏；亞倫的孫子、以利亞撒的兒子非尼哈侍立在約櫃前。以色列人問耶和華說：「我們當再出去與我們弟兄便雅憫人打仗呢？還是罷兵呢？」耶和華說：「你們當上去，因為明日我必將他們交在你們手中。」

時、上帝約匱在彼、亞倫孫、以利亞撒子非尼哈、侍於其前、

當時上帝之約匱在彼、亞倫孫、以利亞撒子非尼哈立於其前、以色列族問於耶和華曰、我儕復攻同儕便雅憫族、或往乎、或止乎。耶和華曰、往哉、明日我將以之付於爾手。

當時天主之約匱在彼、亞倫孫以利亞撒子非尼哈侍於其前、以色列人問於主曰、我復往與同族便雅憫人戰、可乎、或止乎、主曰、往哉、明日我將以之付於爾手、

And the Israelites inquired of the Lord.( In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,

Again the Israelites spoke to the Lord. In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there.

And the people of Israel inquired of the Lord( for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

The Israelites went up seeking direction from the Lord.( In those days the Ark of the Covenant of God was in Bethel,

Then the Israelites inquired of the LORD. In those days, the ark of the covenant of God was there,

And the sons of Israel inquired of the Lord( for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

So the children of Israel inquired of the Lord( the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

And the children of Israel asked of Jehovah( for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

Then the Israelites inquired of the Lord. In those days, the ark of the covenant of God was there,

And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD,( for the ark of the covenant of God[ was] there in those days,

The children of Israel asked Yahweh( for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

The entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh and there they set up the tent of meeting. Though they had subdued the land,

When the army came back to the camp, the elders of Israel said,“ Why did the LORD let us be defeated today by the Philistines? Let’s take with us the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh. When it is with us, it will save us from the hand of our enemies.So the army sent to Shiloh, and they took from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts who sits between the cherubim. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

The Israelites went up to Bethel and asked God,“ Who should lead the charge against the Benjaminites?” The LORD said,“ Judah should lead.”

He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he lived among men.He allowed the symbol of his strong presence to be captured; he gave the symbol of his splendor into the hand of the enemy.

So, go to the place in Shiloh where I allowed myself to be worshiped in the early days. See what I did to it because of the wicked things my people Israel did.

Look, the LORD’s hand is not too weak to deliver you; his ear is not too deaf to hear you.

The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening. They asked the LORD,“ Should we again march out to fight the Benjaminites, our brothers?” The LORD said,“ Attack them!”

And he will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the decision of the Urim. At his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community.”
