1 # And the Philistines <06430> took <03947> (8804) the ark <0727> of God <0430>, and brought <0935> (8686) it from Ebenezer <072> unto Ashdod <0795>.
2 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>.
3 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> <00> him in his place <04725> again <07725> (8686).
4 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.
5 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> .
6 # 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.
7 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>.
8 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> <00> the ark <0727> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> about <05437> (8686) thither.
9 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).
10 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>.
11 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.
12 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>.
