1
Now the Philistines
took
the ark
of God
and brought
it from Ebenezer
to Ashdod.
2
Then the Philistines
took
the ark
of God
and brought
it to the house
of Dagon
and set
it by Dagon.
3
When the Ashdodites
arose early
the next morning,
behold,
Dagon
had fallen
on his face
to the ground
before
the ark
of the LORD.
So they took
Dagon
and set
him in his place
again.
4
But when they arose early
the next
morning,
behold,
Dagon
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;
only
the trunk
of
Dagon
was left
to him.
5
Therefore
neither
the priests
of Dagon
nor
all
who enter
Dagon's
house
tread
on the threshold
of Dagon
in Ashdod
to this
day.
6
Now the hand
of the LORD
was heavy
on the Ashdodites,
and He ravaged
them and smote
them with tumors,
both Ashdod
and its territories.
7
When the men
of Ashdod
saw
that it was so,
they said,
"The ark
of the God
of Israel
must not remain
with us, for His hand
is severe
on us and on Dagon
our god."
8
So they sent
and gathered
all
the lords
of the Philistines
to them and said,
"What
sh
all
we do
with
the ark
of the God
of Israel
?"
And they said,
"Let
the ark
of the God
of Israel
be brought
around
to Gath."
And they brought
the ark
of the God
of Israel
around
.
9
After
they had brought it around,
the hand
of the LORD
was against the city
with very
great
confusion;
and He smote
the men
of the city,
both
young
and old,
so that tumors
broke
out on them.
10
So they sent
the ark
of God
to Ekron
.
And as
the ark
of God
came
to Ekron
the Ekronites
cried
out, saying,
"They have brought
the ark
of the God
of Israel
around
to us, to kill
us and our people."
11
They sent
therefore and gathered
all
the lords
of the Philistines
and said,
"Send away
the ark
of the God
of Israel,
and let it return
to its own place,
so
that it will not kill
us and our people."
For there was a deadly
confusion
throughout
the city;
the hand
of God
was very
heavy
there.
12
And the men
who
did not die
were smitten
with tumors
and the cry
of the city
went
up to heaven.
