And the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of GodH430, and broughtH935 it from EbenezerH72 unto AshdodH795.
When the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of GodH430, they broughtH935 it into the houseH1004 of DagonH1712, and setH3322 it byH681 DagonH1712.
And when they of AshdodH796 arose earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, behold, DagonH1712 was fallenH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068. And they tookH3947 DagonH1712, and setH7725 him in his placeH4725 againH7725.
And when they arose earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283 morningH1242, behold, DagonH1712 was fallenH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068; and the headH7218 of DagonH1712 and bothH8147 the palmsH3709 of his handsH3027 were cut offH3772 upon the thresholdH4670; only the stump of DagonH1712 was leftH7604 to him. {the stump…: or, the fishy part}
Therefore neither the priestsH3548 of DagonH1712, nor any that comeH935 into Dagon'sH1712 houseH1004, treadH1869 on the thresholdH4670 of DagonH1712 in AshdodH795 unto this dayH3117.
But the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was heavyH3513 upon them of AshdodH796, and he destroyedH8074 them, and smoteH5221 them with emerodsH2914+H6076, even AshdodH795 and the coastsH1366 thereof.
And when the menH582 of AshdodH795 sawH7200 that it was so, they saidH559, The arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 shall not abideH3427 with us: for his handH3027 is soreH7185 upon us, and upon DagonH1712 our godH430.
They sentH7971 therefore and gatheredH622 all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 unto them, and saidH559, What shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478? And they answeredH559, Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be carried aboutH5437 unto GathH1661. And they carriedH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 aboutH5437 thither.
And it was so, that, afterH310 they had carried it aboutH5437, the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was against the cityH5892 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 destructionH4103: and he smoteH5221 the menH582 of the cityH5892, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, and they had emerodsH2914+H6076 in their secret partsH8368.
Therefore they sentH7971 the arkH727 of GodH430 to EkronH6138. And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of GodH430 cameH935 to EkronH6138, that the EkronitesH6139 cried outH2199, sayingH559, They have brought aboutH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to us, to slayH4191 us and our peopleH5971. {us, to…: Heb. me to slay me and my}
So they sentH7971 and gathered togetherH622 all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, and saidH559, Send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and let it go againH7725 to his own placeH4725, that it slayH4191 us not, and our peopleH5971: for there was a deadlyH4194 destructionH4103 throughout all the cityH5892; the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 there. {us not…: Heb. me not, and my}
And the menH582 that diedH4191 not were smittenH5221 with the emerodsH2914+H6076: and the cryH7775 of the cityH5892 went upH5927 to heavenH8064.
