1 Samuel 5:2-7
2And the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of 1GodH430 and broughtH935 it into the houseH1004 of DagonH1712, and set it by DagonH1712.
3And when they of Ashdod arose earlyH7925 the nextH4283 dayH4283, behold, DagonH1712 had fallenH5307 on his faceH6440 to the groundH776 before the arkH727 of Jehovah. And they tookH3947 DagonH1712, and set him in his placeH4725 again.
4And when they arose earlyH7925 the nextH4283 morningH1242, behold, DagonH1712 had fallenH5307 on his faceH6440 to the groundH776 before the arkH727 of Jehovah; and the headH7218 of DagonH1712 and both the palmsH3709 of his handsH3027 were cutH3772 off upon the thresholdH4670; onlyH7535 the fish-stump was leftH7604 to him.
5ThereforeH3651 neither the priestsH3548 of DagonH1712 nor any that comeH935 into Dagon's houseH1004 treadH1869 on the thresholdH4670 of DagonH1712 in AshdodH795 to this dayH3117.
6And the handH3027 of Jehovah was heavyH3513 upon them of AshdodH795, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, — AshdodH795 and its bordersH1366.
7And when the menH376 of AshdodH795 sawH7200 that it was soH3651, they saidH559, The arkH727 of the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478 shall not abide with us; for his handH3027 is severe upon us, and upon DagonH1712 our 3godH430.
