The Ark in Philistine Hands

5 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer^(A) to Ashdod,^{(B) 2} brought it into the temple of Dagon^[a](C) and placed it next to his statue.^{[b] 3} When the people of Ashdod got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord.^(D) So they took Dagon and returned him to his place.
