1 Samuel 5:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 That is why, to this day, the priests of Dagon and everyone who enters the temple of Dagon in Ashdod do not step on Dagon’s threshold.
6 The Lord’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod,(A) terrorizing(B) and afflicting the people of Ashdod and its territory with tumors.[a][b](C) 7 When the men of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of Israel’s God must not stay here with us, because His hand is strongly against us and our god Dagon.”
