1 Samuel 5
5
1And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod,
2and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.
3And the Ashdodites rise early on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah; and they take Dagon, and put it back to its place.
4And they rise early in the morning on the morrow, and lo, Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms of its hands are cut off at the threshold, only the fishy part hath been left to him;
5therefore the priests of Dagon, and all those coming into the house of Dagon, tread not on the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, till this day.
6And the hand of Jehovah is heavy on the Ashdodites, and He maketh them desolate, and smiteth them with emerods, Ashdod and its borders.
7And the men of Ashdod see that [it is] so, and have said, ‘The ark of the God of Israel doth not abide with us, for hard hath been His hand upon us, and upon Dagon our god.’
8And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines unto them, and say, ‘What do we do to the ark of the God of Israel?’ and they say, ‘To Gath let the ark of the God of Israel be brought round;’ and they bring round the ark of the God of Israel;
9and it cometh to pass after they have brought it round, that the hand of Jehovah is against the city — a very great destruction; and He smiteth the men of the city, from small even unto great; and break forth on them do emerods.
10And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cry out, saying, ‘They have brought round unto us the ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death — and our people.’
11And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines, and say, ‘Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to death — and our people;’ for there hath been a deadly destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand of God been there,
12and the men who have not died have been smitten with emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens.

1 Samuel 5
5
1And the Philistines took the ark of God#GodHebrew: Elohim and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod. 2And the Philistines took the ark of God#GodHebrew: Elohim and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 3And when they of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 4And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the fish-stump was left to him. 5Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any that come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6And the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he laid them waste, and smote them with hemorrhoids, — Ashdod and its borders. 7And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god. 8And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel about thither. 9And it came to pass that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with very great panic; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and hemorrhoids broke out upon them. 10And they sent the ark of God#GodHebrew: Elohim to Ekron. And it came to pass, when the ark of God#GodHebrew: Elohim came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel to us, to kill us and our people. 11And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it kill us not, and our people. For there was deadly alarm throughout the city: the hand of God#GodHebrew: Elohim was very heavy there; 12and the men that died not were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
