1 Samuel 5:7-9

7When the menH376 of AshdodH795 sawH7200 that it was soH3651, they saidH559, “The arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 must not remainH3427 with us, for His handH3027 is severeH7185 on us and on DagonH1712 our godH430.”

8So they sentH7971 and 1gatheredH622 allH3605 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 to them and saidH559, “WhatH4100 shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478?” And they saidH559, “Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be broughtH5437 aroundH5437 to GathH1661.” And they broughtH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 around.

9AfterH310 they had broughtH5437 it aroundH5437, 2the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was against the cityH5892 with veryH3966 greatH1419 confusionH4103; and He smoteH5221 the menH376 of the cityH5892, bothH4480 youngH6996 and oldH1419, so that 3tumorsH6076 brokeH8368 out on them.
