1 Samuel 6:21

1Sa 6:21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you.

Ver. 21. Fetch it up to you, ] viz., Lest the Philistines fetch it again; so they pretend, howsoever. Nature need not be taught to tell her own tale.
