1 Samuel 5:6-8

6Now 1the handH3027 of the LordH3068 wasH3513 heavyH3513 on the AshdoditesH796, and 2He made them feelH8074 devastatedH8074 and struckH5221 them with 3tumorsH6076, both AshdodH795 and its territoriesH1366.

7When the menH376 of AshdodH795 sawH7200 that it was soH3651, they saidH559, “The arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 must not remainH3427 with us, becauseH3588 His handH3027 isH7185 severeH7185 on us and on DagonH1712 our godH430.”

8So they sentH7971 word and 4gatheredH622 allH3605 the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 to them, and saidH559, “WhatH4100 shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478?” And they saidH559, “Have the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 5broughtH5437 to GathH1661.” So they tookH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 awayH5437.
