On the lighter side of scripture

1 Sam 6: Philistines return the captured Ark of the Covenant. WHY?

In 1 Sam 6 After capturing the Ark of the Covenant. Why did the Philistines return it? And what did they include as a trespass offering with it?

One of the curses God list for Israel, for breaking His covenant Law:

Deut 28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

KJ Bible Dictionary Definition: EM'ERODS, n. With a plural termination. Corrupted from "hemorrhoids" to labor under a flowing of blood.

Hemorrhoids; piles; a dilatation of the veins about the rectum, with a discharge of blood.

1 Sam 5:6, 9, & 12 The Lord sends a plague of emerods (Hemorrhoids) upon Philistines. There were 5 Philistine cities under rat & hemorrhoid infestation.

So, they make 5 mice of Gold & 5 golden Hemorrhoids. And give them to the God of Israel as a trespass offering. When they return the Ark of the Covenant.

I wonder what a golden hemorrhoid looks like? LOL

Every time I read Gen 3:12. Again, I LOL

Gen 3:12 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Adam tells God "The Woman", "You", "Gave Me". "She" "gave me of the tree" & I ate. Adam blames everyone but himself. Have any kids or work with any people like this? LOL
