• Association was impossible; the Philistines desire Him not. You cannot glory in a victory over One who, when captured, is your destroyer. The Philistines get rid of Him. Never can the children of Satan endure the presence of the true God. (“1 Samuel 4-6” by J.N. Darby)
• "What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah?" (1 Sam. 6:2). They do not know what to do with the throne of God, the mercy-seat, the vessel of the mind of God! Animated by the same spirit, the Gadarenes prayed the Lord to withdraw from their borders. It makes them uncomfortable because it judges them. (“1 Samuel 5-6:13” by H.L. Rossier)
• It does not occur to them to address themselves to Him, but their clergy must surely know the way of being rid of God. (“1 Samuel 5-6:13” by H.L. Rossier)
