The Philistines and the Ark
1 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it afrom Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of aDagon and set it by Dagon.
3 And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, afallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and bset it in its place again.
4 And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. aThe head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only1 Dagon’s torso was left of it.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house atread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 But the ahand of the Lord was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He bravaged them and struck them with ctumors, both Ashdod and its dterritory.
