11 They placed the ark of the Lord on the cart and along with it the chest containing the gold rats and the models of the tumors.
11 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.
11 And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors.
11 and placed the Chest of God and the sack of gold rats and tumors on the cart.
11 And they set the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the chest with the gold rats and the images of their tumors.
11 Then the Ark of the Lord and the chest containing the gold rats and gold tumors were placed on the cart.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 6:11
Commentary on 1 Samuel 6:10-18
(Read 1 Samuel 6:10-18)
These two kine knew their owner, their great Owner, whom Hophin and Phinehas knew not. God's providence takes notice even of brute creatures, and serves its own purposes by them. When the reapers saw the ark, they rejoiced; their joy for that was greater than the joy of harvest. The return of the ark, and the revival of holy ordinances, after days of restraint and trouble, are matters of great joy.
