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.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, “The ark of the aGod of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god.”
8 Therefore they sent and gathered to themselves all the alords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” And they answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried away to bGath.” So they carried the ark of the God of Israel away.
9 So it was, after they had carried it away, that athe hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction; and He struck the men of the city, both small and great,1 and tumors broke out on them.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!”
