1 Samuel 5:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to (A)the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon. 3 When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, (B)Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and (C)set him in his place again. 4 But when they arose early the next morning, behold, (D)Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; [a]only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.
