And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh unto us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.

And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.

Οτε δε ηλθεν ο λαος εις το στρατοπεδον, ειπον οι πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ, Δια τι ο Κυριος επαταξεν ημας σημερον εμπροσθεν των Φιλισταιων; ας λαβωμεν προς εαυτους απο Σηλω την κιβωτον της διαθηκης του Κυριου, και ελθουσα εν μεσω ημων θελει σωσει ημας εκ της χειρος των εχθρων ημων.

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.

When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”
