1 Samuel 5:1-12

And the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it from Ebenezer
<072>
unto Ashdod
<0795>_.
When the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
they brought
<0935> (8686)
it into the house
<01004>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<03322> (8686)
it by
<0681>
Dagon
<01712>_.
And when they of Ashdod
<0796>
arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the earth
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<07725> (0)
him in his place
<04725>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
And when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>
morning
<01242>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the ground
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the head
<07218>
of Dagon
<01712>
and both
<08147>
the palms
<03709>
of his hands
<03027>
[were] cut off
<03772> (8803)
upon the threshold
<04670>_;
only [the stump of] Dagon
<01712>
was left
<07604> (8738)
to him. {the stump...: or, the fishy part}
Therefore neither the priests
<03548>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
nor any that come
<0935> (8802)
into Dagon's
<01712>
house
<01004>_,
tread
<01869> (8799)
on the threshold
<04670>
of Dagon
<01712>
in Ashdod
<0795>
unto this day
<03117>_.
But the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was heavy
<03513> (8799)
upon them of Ashdod
<0796>_,
and he destroyed
<08074> (8686)
them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
[even] Ashdod
<0795>
and the coasts
<01366>
thereof.
And when the men
<0582>
of Ashdod
<0795>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that [it was] so, they said
<0559> (8804)_,
The ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
shall not abide
<03427> (8799)
with us: for his hand
<03027>
is sore
<07185> (8804)
upon us, and upon Dagon
<01712>
our god
<0430>_.
They sent
<07971> (8799)
therefore and gathered
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall we do
<06213> (8799)
with the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Let the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
be carried about
<05437> (8735)
unto Gath
<01661>_.
And they carried
<05437> (0)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
about
<05437> (8686)
[thither].
And it was [so], that, after
<0310>
they had carried it about
<05437> (8689)_,
the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was against the city
<05892>
with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
destruction
<04103>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_,
and they had emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>
in their secret parts
<08368> (8735)_.
Therefore they sent
<07971> (8762)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
to Ekron
<06138>_.
And it came to pass, as the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8800)
to Ekron
<06138>_,
that the Ekronites
<06139>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
They have brought about
<05437> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
to us, to slay
<04191> (8687)
us and our people
<05971>_.
{us, to...: Heb. me to slay me and my}
So they sent
<07971> (8799)
and gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send away
<07971> (8761)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and let it go again
<07725> (8799)
to his own place
<04725>_,
that it slay
<04191> (8686)
us not, and our people
<05971>_:
for there was a deadly
<04194>
destruction
<04103>
throughout all the city
<05892>_;
the hand
<03027>
of God
<0430>
was very
<03966>
heavy
<03513> (8804)
there. {us not...: Heb. me not, and my}
And the men
<0582>
that died
<04191> (8804)
not were smitten
<05221> (8717)
with the emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_:
and the cry
<07775>
of the city
<05892>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_.
