  • Judg 16:23 : 23 Then the lords{H5633} of the Philistines{H6430} gathered them together{H622}{(H8738)} for to offer{H2076}{(H8800)} a great{H1419} sacrifice{H2077} unto Dagon{H1712} their god{H430}, and to rejoice{H8057}: for they said{H559}{(H8799)}, Our god{H430} hath delivered{H5414}{(H8804)} Samson{H8123} our enemy{H341}{(H8802)} into our hand{H3027}.
  • 1 Sam 5:1-9 : 1 And the Philistines{H6430} took{H3947}{(H8804)} the ark{H727} of God{H430}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} it from Ebenezer{H72} unto Ashdod{H795}. 2 When the Philistines{H6430} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the ark{H727} of God{H430}, they brought{H935}{(H8686)} it into the house{H1004} of Dagon{H1712}, and set{H3322}{(H8686)} it by{H681} Dagon{H1712}. 3 And when they of Ashdod{H796} arose early{H7925}{(H8686)} on the morrow{H4283}, behold, Dagon{H1712} was fallen{H5307}{(H8802)} upon his face{H6440} to the earth{H776} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}. And they took{H3947}{(H8799)} Dagon{H1712}, and set{H7725} him in his place{H4725} again{H7725}{(H8686)}. 4 And when they arose early{H7925}{(H8686)} on the morrow{H4283} morning{H1242}, behold, Dagon{H1712} was fallen{H5307}{(H8802)} upon his face{H6440} to the ground{H776} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}; and the head{H7218} of Dagon{H1712} and both{H8147} the palms{H3709} of his hands{H3027} were cut off{H3772}{(H8803)} upon the threshold{H4670}; only the stump of Dagon{H1712} was left{H7604}{(H8738)} to him. 5 Therefore neither the priests{H3548} of Dagon{H1712}, nor any that come{H935}{(H8802)} into Dagon's{H1712} house{H1004}, tread{H1869}{(H8799)} on the threshold{H4670} of Dagon{H1712} in Ashdod{H795} unto this day{H3117}. 6 But the hand{H3027} of the LORD{H3068} was heavy{H3513}{(H8799)} upon them of Ashdod{H796}, and he destroyed{H8074}{(H8686)} them, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them with emerods{H2914}{(H8675)}{H6076}, even Ashdod{H795} and the coasts{H1366} thereof. 7 And when the men{H582} of Ashdod{H795} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that it was so, they said{H559}{(H8804)}, The ark{H727} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} shall not abide{H3427}{(H8799)} with us: for his hand{H3027} is sore{H7185}{(H8804)} upon us, and upon Dagon{H1712} our god{H430}. 8 They sent{H7971}{(H8799)} therefore and gathered{H622}{(H8799)} all the lords{H5633} of the Philistines{H6430} unto them, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, What shall we do{H6213}{(H8799)} with the ark{H727} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}? And they answered{H559}{(H8799)}, Let the ark{H727} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} be carried about{H5437}{(H8735)} unto Gath{H1661}. And they carried{H5437} the ark{H727} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} about{H5437}{(H8686)} thither. 9 And it was so, that, after{H310} they had carried it about{H5437}{(H8689)}, the hand{H3027} of the LORD{H3068} was against the city{H5892} with a very{H3966} great{H1419} destruction{H4103}: and he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the men{H582} of the city{H5892}, both small{H6996} and great{H1419}, and they had emerods{H2914}{(H8675)}{H6076} in their secret parts{H8368}{(H8735)}.
