1 Samuel 5:2-6 The Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² The Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. ³ And the Ashdodites rose early on the next day, and look, Dagon had fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they raised up Dagon and set him in his place again. ⁴ And it happened when they arose early the next morning, look, Dagon had fallen on his face 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 Dagonʼs torso was intact. ⁵ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon's house, step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day. ⁶ But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and he ravaged them and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And he brought up against them mice, and they burst out in their ships, and mice sprang up in the midst of their land, and there was a great terror of death in the city.
