1 Samuel 6:7-9

New King James Version

⁷ Now therefore, make ^(A)a new cart, take two milk cows ^(B)which have never been yoked, and hitch the cows to the cart; and take their calves home, away from them. ⁸ Then take the ark of the Lord and set it on the cart; and put ^(C)the articles of gold which you are returning to Him as a trespass offering in a chest by its side. Then send it away, and let it go. ⁹ And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to ^(D)Beth Shemesh, then He has done ^[a]us this great evil. But if not, then ^(E)we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us—it happened to us by chance.”
