1 Samuel 5:1-4

1Now the Philistines took the ark of God and 1brought it from Ebenezer to 2Ashdod.

2Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to 3the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.

3When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, 4Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and 5set him in his place again.

4But when they arose early the next morning, behold, 6Dagon had fallen on 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 on the threshold; 7only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.
