| [1]Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod. |
[1]And the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947[H8804] the arkH727 of GodH430, and broughtH935[H8686] it from EbenezerH72 unto AshdodH795. |
| [2]And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. |
[2]When the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947[H8799] the arkH727 of GodH430, they broughtH935[H8686] it into the houseH1004 of DagonH1712, and setH3322[H8686] it byH681 DagonH1712. |
| [3]And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. |
[3]And when they of AshdodH796 arose earlyH7925[H8686] on the morrowH4283, behold, DagonH1712 was fallenH5307[H8802] upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068. And they tookH3947[H8799] DagonH1712, and setH7725 him in his placeH4725 againH7725.[H8686] |
| [4]And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off upon threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. |
[4]And when they arose earlyH7925[H8686] on the morrowH4283 morningH1242, behold, DagonH1712 was fallenH5307[H8802] 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[H8803] upon the thresholdH4670; only the stump of DagonH1712 was leftH7604 to himH8738. |
| [5]Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. |
[5]Therefore neither the priestsH3548 of DagonH1712, nor any that comeH935[H8802] into Dagon'sH1712 houseH1004, treadH1869[H8799] on the thresholdH4670 of DagonH1712 in AshdodH795 unto this dayH3117. |
| [6]But the hand of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and He destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the borders thereof. |
[6]But the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was heavyH3513[H8799] upon them of AshdodH796, and he destroyedH8074[H8686] them, and smoteH5221[H8686] them with emerodsH2914[H8675][H6076], even AshdodH795 and the coasts thereofH1366. |
| [7]And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said: 'The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for His hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.' |
[7]And when the menH582 of AshdodH795 sawH7200[H8799] that it was so, they saidH559[H8804], The arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 shall not abideH3427[H8799] with us: for his handH3027 is soreH7185[H8804] upon us, and upon DagonH1712 our godH430. |
| [8]They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said: 'What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?' And they answered: 'Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath.' And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither. |
[8]They sentH7971[H8799] therefore and gatheredH622[H8799] all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 unto them, and saidH559[H8799], What shall we doH6213[H8799] with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478? And they answeredH559[H8799], Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be carried aboutH5437[H8735] unto GathH1661. And they carriedH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 aboutH5437 thitherH8686. |
| [9]And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 was against the city with a very great discomfiture; and He smote the men of the city, both small and great, and emerods broke out upon them. |
[9]And it was so, that, afterH310 they had carried it aboutH5437[H8689], the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was against the cityH5892 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 destructionH4103: and he smoteH5221[H8686] the menH582 of the cityH5892, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, and they had emerodsH2914[H8675][H6076] in their secret partsH8368.[H8735] |
| [10]So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying: 'They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.' |
[10]Therefore they sentH7971[H8762] the arkH727 of GodH430 to EkronH6138. And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of GodH430 cameH935[H8800] to EkronH6138, that the EkronitesH6139 cried outH2199[H8799], sayingH559[H8800], They have brought aboutH5437[H8689] the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to us, to slayH4191[H8687] us and our peopleH5971. |
| [11]They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said: 'Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people'; for there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. |
[11]So they sentH7971[H8799] and gathered togetherH622[H8799] all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, and saidH559[H8799], Send awayH7971[H8761] the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and let it go againH7725[H8799] to his own placeH4725, that it slayH4191[H8686] us not, and our peopleH5971: for there was a deadlyH4194 destructionH4103 throughout all the cityH5892; the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 thereH8804. |
| [12]And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to heaven. |
[12]And the menH582 that diedH4191[H8804] not were smittenH5221[H8717] with the emerodsH2914[H8675][H6076]: and the cryH7775 of the cityH5892 went upH5927[H8799] to heavenH8064. |
