←Back to Verses

And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

He punished the people of Bethshemesh for looking at God's box, killing 50,070 men. The people were sad because many were killed in a big battle.
