1 Samuel 5:6-8
Names of God Bible
6 Yahweh dealt harshly with the people of Ashdod. He destroyed them by striking the people in the vicinity of Ashdod with tumors. 7 When the people of Ashdod realized what was happening, they said, “The ark of the Elohim of Israel must not stay with us, because their Elohim is dealing harshly with us and our god Dagon.” 8 The people of Ashdod called together all the Philistine rulers. “What should we do with the ark of the Elohim of Israel?” they asked.
“The ark of the Elohim of Israel must be taken to Gath,” the rulers said.[a] So the people took the ark of the Elohim of Israel there.
