* HolyIsNotSafe: The Ark of the Covenant proves to be an equal-opportunity DoomsdayDevice in 1 Samuel 4-7. The Israelites bring the Ark onto the field of battle, which scares the Philistines into fighting harder instead.

Aaaand the Israelites promptly have a whole bunch of people die from looking into the Ark.
