The ark of God comes into the camp and the Philistines are afraid, because this is the "god" that did the mighty works in Egypt. The ark is captured, but God demonstrates He is with the ark of the testimony, by moving against Philistia as He moved against Egypt. Its interesting that the Philistine thought to make gold images of the rats and tumors they were afflicted with: had they heard the story of the bronze snake, just as they'd heard the story of the ten plagues?
The conclusion I draw is that God is still found inside the testimonies, the stories of previous things He has done, because God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
