1 Samuel 5:8New Messianic Version BibleThey sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? And they answered, Let the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be carried about unto Gat [Winepress]. And they carried the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] about [there]. See the chapter |
So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and said, Send away the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was very heavy there.
Then Akhish [meaning disputed; I will blacken (or terrify) or only a man] called David [beloved], and said unto him, Surely, [as] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives, youi have been upright, and youi going out and youi coming in with me in the host [is] good in my sight: for I have not found evil in youi since the day of youi coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour youi not.

And the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] arose, and shouted, and pursued the P’lishtim [Immigrants], until youi come to the valley, and to the gates of ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots]. And the wounded of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] fell down by the way to Sha’arayim [double gate], even unto Gat [Winepress], and unto ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots].
