1 Samuel 5:1-4

1After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod,

2brought it into the temple of Dagon and placed it next to his statue.

3When the people of Ashdod got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and returned him to his place.

4But when they got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. This time, Dagon’s head and both of his hands were broken off and lying on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso remained.
