12. And the cows took the straight way, by the road to Beth-shemesh; they went by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, and the sound of their voices was clear on the road; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the edge of Beth-shemesh.

BBE summary for : 1 Samuel 6
Summary: In 1 Samuel chapter 6, the story revolves around the Philistines' treatment of the Ark of the Covenant, which they captured in battle. After suffering severe plagues and afflictions, the Philistines determine that the Ark is the source of their misfortune and decide to return it to Israel. They place the Ark on a new cart, accompanied by offerings of golden tumors and mice, to appease the God of Israel. The cart, drawn by two milk cows, miraculously heads straight for Beth Shemesh, where it is received with joy by the Israelite harvesters. However, the chapter concludes with a somber note as many men of Beth Shemesh look into the Ark, resulting in the deaths of fifty thousand and seventy men, highlighting the seriousness of treating holy things with irreverence. This emphasizes themes of divine holiness, the importance of obedience to God's instructions, and the consequences of sin. Ultimately, the chapter illustrates the sovereignty of God over both His people and their enemies.
