The ark of the Load shows the power by it's self, the ark won the honor among Philistines.
The ark of the Load had been in Philistine territory 7 months.
Philistines want send the ark back to Israel with guilt offering- 5 gold tumors and 5 gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers.
The priests and the diviners said," get a new cart ready, with 2 cows that have calved and have never been yoked, Hitch the cows to the art, but take their calves away and pen them up. Take the ark of the Load and put it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending back to him as guilt offering. If it goes up to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh, then the Load has brought this great disaster on us. If it does not, then we will know it happened to us by chance.
The people of Beth Shemesh were rejoiced at the sight, they worship the ark by chopped the cart and sacrificed the cow as a burnt offering to the Load.
God struck down 70 peoples in Beth Shemseh because they had looked into the ark of the Load.
So they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath Jearim, asked them come to take ark of the Load to their place.
Why?
Can't let the Load leave with empty hand. We need to offer something to express our worship or guilt offering.
The Load is holy, men can't look the Load face by face.
The cows have calves may carry the cart and didn't turn away the way to Israel is a confirmation that all happened in Philistine were the hands of the Load.
Even Israel must learn not to overstep the mark. It is not safe to treat God as an object of idle curiosity.
How?
The Load is a living God, He is a spirit is not an object of idle.
The Load shows his power and own the honor in philistine. To be a servant have to fear the Load
