    3When the people of Ashdod woke early the next morning, they found Dagon fallen face down on the ground before the Ark of the LORD. They picked up Dagon and returned it to its place.

    4But when they awoke early the next morning, they found Dagon fallen face down on the ground before the Ark of the LORD again. This time, Dagon’s head and the palms of his hands were broken off, lying on the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon remained.

    5For this reason, to this day, neither the priests of Dagon nor anyone who enters Dagon’s temple in Ashdod step on the threshold.

    6The LORD’s hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod. He devastated them and afflicted them with tumors, both in Ashdod and its surrounding territory.

    7When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The Ark of the God of Israel cannot stay with us, for His hand is harsh against us and our god Dagon.”

    8So they gathered all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “What should we do with the Ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the Ark of the God of Israel be moved to Gath.” So they moved the Ark of the God of Israel.

    9But after they had moved it, the hand of the LORD came against the city of Gath, causing great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, from the youngest to the oldest, with tumors.

    10Then they sent the Ark of God to Ekron. But when the Ark reached Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, saying, “They have brought the Ark of the God of Israel here to kill us and our people!”

    11So they sent word and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines and said, 'Send the Ark of the God of Israel away, let it return to its place so that it will not kill us and our people.' For there was a deadly panic throughout the whole city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
