1 Samuel 5:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version

5 That is why the priests of Dagon and any people who enter Dagon’s temple in Ashdod do not step on the threshold of Dagon to this day.

6 Then the Lord’s hand was heavy against the people of Ashdod. He devastated them and struck them with tumors.[a] He struck Ashdod and its surrounding territory. 7 When the men of Ashdod saw what was taking place, they said, “The Ark of the God of Israel must not stay with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on our god Dagon.”
