1 Samuel 5:2-7

2And the Philistines took the ark of 1God and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

3And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.

4And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him.

5Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

6And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, — Ashdod and its borders.

7And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the 2God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our 3god.
