The Philistines carried the Ark of God from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

The Philistines brought the ark of God into the temple of Dagon and placed it next to him.

Early the next morning, the people of Ashdod got up and saw Dagon lying down in front of the ark of the Lord, with his face on the ground. They then set Dagon back in his place.

The next morning, he woke up and saw Dagon lying down in front of the Ark of the Lord, with his face on the ground. Dagon’s head and hands were broken on the threshold, leaving only Dagon’s remains.

Therefore, the priests of Dagon and all those who enter the temple of Dagon did not step on the threshold of Dagon until today.

The hand of the Lord was heavy on the people of Ashdod, causing them to suffer from hemorrhoids. This is true for Ashdod and its four realms.

When the people of Ashdod saw this situation, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not remain with us, because his hand is heavy on us and our God Dagon.

So he sent messengers to gather the leaders of the Philistines and asked them, ‘What should we do with the ark of the God of Israel?’? They replied, “Bring the ark of the God of Israel to Gath.”. So he brought the ark of the God of Israel to that place.

After being transported, the hand of the Lord attacked the city, causing great panic among its people, causing hemorrhoids to grow on both large and small.

They sent the Ark of God to Ekron. When the Ark of God arrived, the Ekronites shouted out, saying, They have brought the Ark of the God of Israel to us to harm us and our people.

So they sent for the leaders of the Philistines, saying, May you send the ark of the God of Israel back to its place, so that it may not harm us and our people. For God’s hand struck heavily against the city, and some of its people died in panic.

People who have not died have all developed hemorrhoids. He Cheng call sign, with a voice reaching up to the sky.
