- 1 Chronicles 10:10 Shrine of Dagon: with the victory of the Philistines over the Israelites, the armor and head of Saul were presented to their most important god. When the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant, they brought it to the temple of Dagon in Ashdod (1 Sam 5:1-5). It was finally destroyed by the Maccabees (1 Mac 10:84).
