5:1

And the Philistines
<06430>

took
<03947> (8804)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

it from Ebenezer
<072>

unto Ashdod
<0795>_.

5:2

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>_.

5:3

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> (0)

him in his place
<04725>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

5:4

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. {the stump...: or, the fishy part}

5:5

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>_.

5:6

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.

5:7

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>_.

5:8

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> (0)

the ark
<0727>

of the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

about
<05437> (8686)

[thither].

5:9

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)_.

5:10

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>_.

{us, to...: Heb. me to slay me and my}

5:11

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. {us not...: Heb. me not, and my}

5:12

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>_.
