American Standard Version (1901). Public domain.

Now the PhilistinesH6430 had takenH3947 the arkH727 of GodH430, and they broughtH935 it from Eben-ezerH72 unto AshdodH795. And the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of GodH430, and broughtH935 it into the houseH1004 of DagonH1712, and setH3322 it byH681 DagonH1712. And when they of AshdodH796 arose earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, behold, DagonH1712 was fallenH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068. And they tookH3947 DagonH1712, and setH7725 him in his placeH4725 againH7725. And when they arose earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283 morningH1242, behold, DagonH1712 was fallenH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068; and the headH7218 of DagonH1712 and bothH8147 the palmsH3709 of his handsH3027 lay cut offH3772 upon the thresholdH4670; only the stump of DagonH1712 was leftH7604 to him. Therefore neither the priestsH3548 of DagonH1712, nor any that comeH935 into Dagon'sH1712 houseH1004, treadH1869 on the thresholdH4670 of DagonH1712 in AshdodH795, unto this dayH3117. But the handH3027 of JehovahH3068 was heavyH3513 upon them of AshdodH796, and he destroyedH8074 them, and smoteH5221 them with tumorsH2914, even AshdodH795 and the bordersH1366 thereof. And when the menH582 of AshdodH795 sawH7200 that it was so, they saidH559, The arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 shall not abideH3427 with us; for his handH3027 is soreH7185 upon us, and upon DagonH1712 our godH430. They sentH7971 therefore and gatheredH622 all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 unto them, and saidH559, What shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478? And they answeredH559, Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be carried aboutH5437 unto GathH1661. And they carriedH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 thitherH5437. And it was so, that, afterH310 they had carried it aboutH5437, the handH3027 of JehovahH3068 was against the cityH5892 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 discomfitureH4103: and he smoteH5221 the menH582 of the cityH5892, both smallH6996 and greatH1419; and tumorsH2914 brake out uponH8368 them. So they sentH7971 the arkH727 of GodH430 to EkronH6138. And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of GodH430 cameH935 to EkronH6138, that the EkronitesH6139 cried outH2199, sayingH559, They have brought aboutH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to us, to slayH4191 us and our peopleH5971. They sentH7971 therefore and gathered togetherH622 all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, and they saidH559, Send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and let it go againH7725 to its own placeH4725, that is slayH4191 us not, and our peopleH5971. For there was a deadlyH4194 discomfitureH4103 throughout all the cityH5892; the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 there. And the menH582 that diedH4191 not were smittenH5221 with the tumorsH2914; and the cryH7775 of the cityH5892 went upH5927 to heavenH8064.
