1 Samuel 6:9

and watch . If it goes up on the way to its own land , to Beth-shemesh , then it is he who has done us this great harm , but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it happened to us by coincidence .

but keep watching it. If it goes up to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh, then the Lord has brought this great disaster on us. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us but that it happened to us by chance.”

And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth–shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil : but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.
