1 Samuel 5:8

那些“首领”（见 Judges 3:3）极不愿放弃他们的胜利，并照异教徒普遍的迷信，以为在亚实突有什么当地的不祥与他们作对。结果，使全体非利士人都陷于同样的灾祸之下。

The "lords" (see Judges 3:3) were very unwilling to give up their triumph, and, with the common pagan superstition, imagined that some local bad luck was against them at Ashdod. The result was to bring the whole Philistine community under the same calamity.
他们把约柜抬进大衮庙（见边注参考），为要夸耀非利士人的众神胜过以色列的神。（比较 1 Samuel 31:9；Judges 16:23；Isaiah 37:12。）
