And when they of 796 arose early7925 the morrow4283, behold, Dagon1712 was fallen5307 upon his face6440 to the earth776 before6440 the 727 of the LORD3068. And they took3947 Dagon1712, and set7725 him in his place4725 again7725. And when they arose early7925 the morrow4283 morning1242, behold, Dagon1712 was fallen5307 upon his face6440 to the ground776 before6440 the 727 of the LORD3068; and the head7218 of Dagon1712 and both8147 the palms3709 of his hands3027 were cut off3772 upon the threshold4670; only the stump of Dagon1712 was left7604 to him. the stump: or, the fishy part Therefore neither the priests3548 of Dagon1712, nor any that come935 into 's1712 house1004, tread1869 the threshold4670 of Dagon1712 in 795 unto this day3117. But the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was heavy3513 upon them of 796, and he destroyed8074 them, and smote5221 them with emerods2914 6076, even 795 and the coasts1366 thereof. And when the men582 of 795 saw7200 that it was so, they said559, The 727 of the God430 of 3478 shall not abide3427 with us: for his hand3027 is sore7185 upon us, and upon Dagon1712 our god430.

Therefore they sent7971 the 727 of God430 to 6138. And it came to pass, as the 727 of God430 came935 to 6138, that the Ekronites6139 cried out2199, saying559, They have brought about5437 the 727 of the God430 of 3478 to us, to slay4191 us and our people5971. us, to: Heb. me to slay me and my So they sent7971 and gathered together622 all the lords5633 of the 6430, and said559, Send away7971 the 727 of the God430 of 3478, and let it go again7725 to his own place4725, that it slay4191 us not, and our people5971: for there was a deadly4194 destruction4103 throughout all the city5892; the hand3027 of God430 was very3966 heavy3513 there. us not: Heb. me not, and my And the men582 that died4191 not were smitten5221 with the emerods2914 6076: and the cry7775 of the city5892 went up5927 to heaven8064.
