And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
The golden mice were placed based on the number of Philistine cities under five lords. This included fortified cities and rural areas, all the way to the big Abel stone. Here, they put the ark of God. This stone still exists today in Joshua's field in Bethshemesh.
