1 Samuel 5:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.” 8 So they called all the Philistine rulers together(D) and asked, “What should we do with the ark of Israel’s God?”
“The ark of Israel’s God should be moved to Gath,” they replied. So the men of Ashdod moved the ark.
