1 Samuel 5:4-6
New Century Version
1 Samuel 5:4-6
New Century Version
4 The next morning when they rose, they again found Dagon fallen on the ground before the Ark of the Lord. His head and hands had broken off and were lying in the doorway. Only his body was still in one piece. 5 So, even today, Dagon’s priests and others who enter his temple at Ashdod refuse to step on the doorsill.
6 The Lord was hard on the people of Ashdod and their neighbors. He caused them to suffer and gave them growths on their skin.

1 Samuel 5:4-6
New International Version
4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken(A) off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.(B)
6 The Lord’s hand(C) was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation(D) on them and afflicted them with tumors.[a](E)
