1SA-5:1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it
from Ebenezer
unto Ashdod.
1SA-5:2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought
it into the
house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
1SA-5:3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow,
behold, Dagon
[was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the
LORD. And they
took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
1SA-5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold,
Dagon [was]
fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD;
and the head of
Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon the
threshold; only
[the stump of] Dagon was left to him.
1SA-5:5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that
come into
Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto
this day.
1SA-5:6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod,
and he
destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod and
the coasts
thereof.
1SA-5:7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they
said, The ark
of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is
sore upon us,
and upon Dagon our god.
1SA-5:8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the
Philistines
unto them, 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 about
unto Gath.
And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].
1SA-5:9 And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about,
the hand of
the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and
he smote the
men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in
their secret
parts.
1SA-5:10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it
came to pass, as
the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out,
saying, They have
brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and
our people.
1SA-5:11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of
the Philistines,
and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go
again to his
own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a
deadly
destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very
heavy there.
1SA-5:12 And the men that died not were smitten with the
emerods: and the cry
of the city went up to heaven.
