1 Samuel 6:19

6:19 But the Lord¹ struck down some of the people of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord; he struck down 50,070² of the men. The people grieved because the Lord had struck the people with a hard blow.

1 Samuel 10:17

Context

10:17 Then Samuel called the people together before the Lord at Mizpah.

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tc The number 50,070 is surprisingly large, although it finds almost unanimous textual support in the MT and in the ancient versions. Only a few medieval Hebrew mss lack “50,000,” reading simply “70” instead. However, there does not seem to be sufficient external evidence to warrant reading 70 rather than 50,070, although that is done by a number of recent translations (e.g., NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). The present translation (reluctantly) follows the MT and the ancient versions here.
