Bible Verses About Ark of the Covenant: Fall of Dagon

The P'lishtim had captured the ark of God and brought it from Even-'Ezer to Ashdod.

Then the P'lishtim took the ark of God, brought it to the temple of Dagon and set it next to Dagon.

But early the next morning, when the people of Ashdod got up, there was Dagon, fallen down with his face to the ground before the ark of ADONAI. They took Dagon and set him in his place again;

but early the following morning, when they got up, Dagon was again fallen down with his face to the ground before the ark of ADONAI; this time, the head of Dagon and both hands lay there, severed, on the threshold; all that was left of Dagon was his torso.
