1 Samuel 5:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 When they got up early in the morning the next day, there was[a] Dagon fallen again with his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh! The head of Dagon and the palms of his two hands were cut off, lying at[b] the threshold; only the body[c] of Dagon was left. 5 (Therefore the priests of Dagon and all who come into the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod until this very day.)

6 Now the hand of Yahweh was heavy against the Ashdodites and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors,[d] both in Ashdod and its territories.
