The rulers return to Ekron

16When the five rulers of the Philistines saw it, they returned to Ekron that same day.

17And these are the golden tumors that the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to Yahweh: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron.

18and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, from fortified city to unwalled village, and as far as the great stone on which they set down the ark of Yahweh, which remains to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
