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

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。

以色列人去求问耶和华；那时，神的约柜在那里。

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。」

當那些日子、上帝的約櫃在那裏；那些日子、亞倫的孫子、以利亞撒的兒子非尼哈、站在永恆主面前供職；以色列人求問永恆主說：『應該再出去、同我們的族弟兄便雅憫人交戰呢？還是該罷休呢？』永恆主說：『你們只管上去，因為明天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、

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 Israelites asked the LORD( for the ark of God’s covenant 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 whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The country was brought under their control,

When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked,“ Why did the Lord bring defeat on us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Shiloh, so that he may go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies.”So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim. And Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

The Israelites went up to Bethel and inquired of God. They said,“ Who of us is to go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” The Lord replied,“ Judah shall go first.”

He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among humans.He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy.

“‘ Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.

Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

The Israelites went up and wept before the Lord until evening, and they inquired of the Lord. They said,“ Shall we go up again to fight against the Benjamites, our fellow Israelites?” The Lord answered,“ Go up against them.”

He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the Lord. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in.”
