1 Samuel 5:6-8
Common English Bible
6 The Lord’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod: God terrified them and struck them in Ashdod and its surroundings with tumors.[a] 7 When Ashdod’s inhabitants saw what was happening, they said, “The chest of Israel’s God must not stay here with us because his hand is hard against us and against our god Dagon.”
8 So they summoned all the Philistine rulers to a meeting and asked, “What should we do with the chest of Israel’s God?” The people of Gath said, “Let the chest of Israel’s God be moved to us.” So they moved the chest of Israel’s God to Gath.[b]

King James Version
6 But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.

6 Sedan började Herren förgöra invånarna i Asdod och de närliggande samhällena genom stora bölder.
7 När folket förstod vad som hade hänt, utropade de: Vi kan inte behålla Israels Guds ark här längre. Vi kommer alla att förgås tillsammans med vår gud Dagon.
8 Därför kallade de samman de styrande bland filisteerna och frågade dem vad de skulle göra med arken. Man beslöt att föra den till Gat.
