Now the Philistines
H3947
had taken
H727
the ark
H430
of God,
H935
and they brought
H72
it from Ebenezer
H795
to Ashdod.
2
H6430
The Philistines
H3947
took
H727
the ark
H430
of God,
H935
and brought
H1004
it into the house
H1712
of Dagon,
H3322
and set
H681
it by
H1712
Dagon.
3
H796
When they of Ashdod
H7925
arose early
H4283
on the next day,
H1712
behold, Dagon
H5307
was fallen
H6440
on his face
H776
to the ground
H6440
before
H727
the ark
H3068
of Yahweh.
H3947
They took
H1712
Dagon,
H7725
and set
H4725
him in his place
H7725
again.
4
H7925
When they arose early
H4283
on the next day
H1242
morning,
H1712
behold, Dagon
H5307
was fallen
H6440
on his face
H776
to the ground
H6440
before
H727
the ark
H3068
of Yahweh;
H7218
and the head
H1712
of Dagon
H8147
and both
H3709
the palms
H3027
of his hands
H3772
were cut off
H4670
on the threshold.
H1712
Only Dagon's
H7604
torso was intact.
5
H3548
Therefore neither the priests
H1712
of Dagon,
H935
nor any who come
H1712
into Dagon's
H1004
house,
H1869
tread
H4670
on the threshold
H1712
of Dagon
H795
in Ashdod,
H3117
to this day.
6
H3027
But the hand
H3068
of Yahweh
H3513
was heavy
H796
on them of Ashdod,
H8074
and he destroyed
H5221
them, and struck
H2914
them with tumors,
H795
even Ashdod
H1366
and its borders.
7
H582
When the men
H795
of Ashdod
H7200
saw
H559
that it was so, they said,
H727
"The ark
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel
H3427
shall not stay
H3027
with us; for his hand
H7185
is severe
H1712
on us, and on Dagon
H430
our god."
8
H7971
They sent
H622
therefore and gathered
H5633
all the lords
H6430
of the Philistines
H559
to them, and said,
H6213
"What shall we do
H727
with the ark
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel?"
H559
They answered,
H727
"Let the ark
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel
H5437
be carried over
H1661
to Gath."
H5437
They carried
H727
the ark
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel
H5437
there.
9
H310
It was so, that after
H5437
they had carried it about,
H3027
the hand
H3068
of Yahweh
H5892
was against the city
H3966
with a very
H1419
great
H4103
confusion:
H5221
and he struck
H582
the men
H5892
of the city,
H6996
both small
H1419
and great;
H2914
and tumors
H8368
broke out on them.
10
H7971
So they sent
H727
the ark
H430
of God
H6138
to Ekron.
H727
It happened, as the ark
H430
of God
H935
came
H6138
to Ekron,
H6139
that the Ekronites
H2199
cried out,
H559
saying,
H5437
"They have brought about
H727
the ark
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel
H4191
to us, to kill
H5971
us and our people."
11
H7971
They sent
H622
therefore and gathered together
H5633
all the lords
H6430
of the Philistines,
H559
and they said,
H7971
"Send away
H727
the ark
H430
of the God
H3478
of Israel,
H7725
and let it go again
H4725
to its own place,
H4191
that it not kill
H5971
us and our people."
H4194
For there was a deadly
H4103
confusion
H5892
throughout all the city;
H3027
the hand
H430
of God
H3966
was very
H3513
heavy there.
