And
the
Philistines
took
the
a
ark
of
God,
and
brought
it
from
b
Eben-ezer
unto
Ashdod.
2 When
the
Philistines
took
the
a
ark
of
God,
they
brought
it
into
the
house
of
b
Dagon,
and
set
it
by
Dagon.
3 And
when
they
of
Ashdod
arose
early
on
the
morrow,
behold,
Dagon
was
fallen
upon
his
face
to
the
earth
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord.
And
they
took
Dagon,
and
set
him
in
his
place
again.
4 And
when
they
arose
early
on
the
morrow
morning,
behold,
Dagon
was
fallen
upon
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
upon
the
threshold;
only
the
stump
of
Dagon
was
left
to
him.
5 Therefore
neither
the
priests
of
Dagon,
nor
any
that
come
into
Dagon's
house,
tread
on
the
threshold
of
Dagon
in
Ashdod
unto
this
day.
6 But
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
heavy
upon
them
of
Ashdod,
and
he
destroyed
them,
and
smote
them
with
a
emerods,
even
Ashdod
and
the
coasts
thereof.
7 And
when
the
men
of
Ashdod
saw
that
it
was
so,
they
said,
The
ark
of
the
God
of
Israel
shall
not
abide
with
us:
for
his
hand
is
sore
upon
us,
and
upon
Dagon
our
god.
8 They
sent
therefore
and
gathered
all
the
lords
of
the
Philistines
unto
them,
and
said,
What
shall
we
do
with
the
ark
of
the
God
of
Israel?
And
they
answered,
Let
the
ark
of
the
God
of
Israel
be
carried
about
unto
a
Gath.
And
they
carried
the
ark
of
the
God
of
Israel
about
thither.
9 And
it
was
so,
that,
after
they
had
carried
it
about,
the
a
hand
of
the
Lord
was
against
the
city
with
a
very
great
destruction:
and
he
smote
the
men
of
the
city,
both
small
and
great,
and
they
had
emerods
in
their
secret
parts.
10 Therefore
they
sent
the
ark
of
God
to
Ekron.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
the
ark
of
God
came
to
Ekron,
that
the
Ekronites
cried
out,
saying,
They
have
brought
about
the
ark
of
the
God
of
Israel
to
us,
to
slay
us
and
our
people.
