5 Filistar höfðu tekið Guðs örk og flutt hana frá Ebeneser til Asdód.
2 Nú tóku þeir Guðs örk og fluttu hana í musteri Dagóns og settu hana við hliðina á Dagón.
3 En er Asdód-menn risu árla morguninn eftir, sjá, þá lá Dagón á grúfu á gólfinu fyrir framan örk Drottins. Tóku þeir þá Dagón og settu hann aftur á sinn stað.
4 Og þeir risu árla um morguninn daginn eftir, og sjá, þá lá Dagón á grúfu á gólfinu fyrir framan örk Drottins. Höfuð Dagóns og báðar hendur voru brotnar af honum og lágu á þröskuldinum, bolurinn einn var eftir af Dagón. (
5 Fyrir því stíga prestar Dagóns og allir þeir, sem ganga inn í musteri Dagóns, ekki á þröskuld Dagóns í Asdód, og helst það enn í dag.)
6 Hönd Drottins lá þungt á Asdód-mönnum, hann skelfdi þá og sló þá með kýlum, bæði Asdód og héraðið umhverfis.
7 En þegar Asdód-búar sáu, að þetta var þannig, þá sögðu þeir: "Örk Ísraels Guðs skal eigi lengur hjá oss vera, því að hörð er hönd hans á oss og á Dagón, guði vorum."
8 Þá gjörðu þeir út sendimenn og söfnuðu saman öllum höfðingjum Filista til sín og sögðu: "Hvað eigum vér að gjöra við örk Ísraels Guðs?" Þeir sögðu: "Flytja skal örk Ísraels Guðs til Gat." Og þeir fluttu örk Ísraels Guðs þangað.
9 En eftir að þeir höfðu flutt hana þangað, þá kom hönd Drottins yfir borgina með feikna mikilli skelfingu. Hann sló borgarbúa, bæði smáa og stóra, svo að kýli brutust út um þá.
10 Þá sendu þeir Guðs örk til Ekron. En er Guðs örk kom til Ekron, þá kveinuðu Ekroningar og sögðu: "Þeir hafa flutt til mín örk Ísraels Guðs til þess að deyða mig og fólk mitt!"
11 Þá gjörðu þeir út sendimenn og söfnuðu saman öllum höfðingjum Filista og sögðu: "Sendið burt örk Ísraels Guðs, svo að hún komist á sinn stað og deyði mig ekki og fólk mitt." Því að dauðans angist hafði gripið alla borgina. Hönd Guðs lá þar mjög þungt á.
12 Þeir menn, sem eigi dóu, urðu slegnir kýlum, og kvein borgarinnar sté upp til himins.

The Ark in Ashdod and Ekron
5 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer(A) to Ashdod.(B) 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon.(C) 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen(D) on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken(E) off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.(F)
6 The Lord’s hand(G) was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation(H) on them and afflicted them with tumors.[a](I) 7 When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god.” 8 So they called together all the rulers(J) of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?”
They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.(K)” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.
9 But after they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic.(L) He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.[b] 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron.(M)
As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people.” 11 So they called together all the rulers(N) of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it[c] will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God’s hand was very heavy on it. 12 Those who did not die(O) were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.
