1Now the Philistines^H6430 took^H3947 the ark^H727 of God^H430 and brought^H935 it from Ebenezer^H72 to Ashdod.^H795
2Then the Philistines^H6430 took^H3947 the ark^H727 of God^H430 and brought^H935 it to the house^H1004 of Dagon,^H1712 and set^H3322 it by Dagon.^H1712
3When the Ashdodites^H796 arose^H7925 early^H7925 the next^H4283 morning,^H4283 behold,^H2009 Dagon^H1712 had fallen^H5307 on his face^H6440 to the ground^H776 before^H6440 the ark^H727 of the Lord.^H3068 So they took^H3947 Dagon^H1712 and set^H7725 him in his place^H4725 again.^H7725
4But when they arose^H7925 early^H7925 the next^H4283 morning,^H1242 behold,^H2009 Dagon^H1712 had fallen^H5307 on his face^H6440 to the ground^H776 before^H6440 the ark^H727 of the Lord.^H3068 And the head^H7218 of Dagon^H1712 and both^H8147 the palms^H3709 of his hands^H3027 [were] cut^H3772 off^H3772 on the threshold;^H4670 only^H7534 the trunk of Dagon^H1712 was left^H7604 to him.
5Therefore^H5921H3651 neither^H3808 the priests^H3548 of Dagon^H1712 nor^H3808 all^H3605 who enter^H935 Dagon^H1712's house^H1004 tread^H1869 on the threshold^H4670 of Dagon in Ashdod^H795 to this^H2088 day.^H3117
6Now the hand^H3027 of the Lord^H3068 was heavy^H3513 on the Ashdodites,^H796 and He ravaged^H8074 them and smote^H5221 them with tumors,^H9425 both Ashdod^H795 and its territories.^H1366
7When the men^H376 of Ashdod^H795 saw^H7200 that it was so,^H3651 they said,^H559 "The ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 must not remain^H3427 with us, for His hand^H3027 is severe^H7185 on us and on Dagon^H1712 our god.^H430"
8So they sent^H7971 and gathered^H622 all^H3605 the lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430 to them and said,^H559 "What^H4100 shall we do^H6213 with the ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478?" And they said,^H559 "Let the ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 be brought^H5437 around^H5437 to Gath.^H1661" And they brought^H5437 the ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 [around.]
9And it came^H1961 about that after^H310 they had brought^H5437 it around,^H5437 the hand^H3027 of the Lord^H3068 was against the city^H5892 with very^H3966 great^H1419 confusion;^H4103 and He smote^H5221 the men^H376 of the city,^H5892 both^H4480 young^H9512 and old,^H1419 so that tumors^H9425 broke^H8368 out on them.
10So they sent^H7971 the ark^H727 of God^H430 to Ekron.^H6138 And it happened^H1961 as the ark^H727 of God^H430 came^H935 to Ekron^H6138 that the Ekronites^H6139 cried^H2199 out, saying,^H559 "They have brought^H5437 the ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 around^H5437 to us, to kill^H4191 us and our people.^H5971"
11They sent^H7971 therefore and gathered^H622 all^H3605 the lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430 and said,^H559 "Send^H7971 away^H7971 the ark^H727 of the God^H430 of Israel,^H3478 and let it return^H7725 to its own place,^H4725 that it may not kill^H4191 us and our people.^H5971" For there was a deadly^H4194 confusion^H4103 throughout^H3605 the city;^H5892 the hand^H3027 of God^H430 was very^H3966 heavy^H3513 there.^H8033
12And the men^H376 who^H834 did not die^H4191 were smitten^H5221 with tumors^H9425 and the cry^H7775 of the city^H5892 went^H5927 up to heaven.^H8064
