1  And the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ took^{3947 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ and brought⁹³⁵ it from Ebenezer^{4480 72} unto Ashdod.⁷⁹⁵

2  When the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ took^{3947 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ they brought⁹³⁵ it into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Dagon,¹⁷¹² and set³³²² it by⁶⁸¹ Dagon.¹⁷¹²

3  And when they of Ashdod⁷⁹⁵ arose early⁷⁹²⁵ on the morrow,^{4480 4283} behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Dagon¹⁷¹² was fallen⁵³⁰⁷ upon his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ to the earth⁷⁷⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And they took^{3947 853} Dagon,¹⁷¹² and set⁷⁷²⁵ him in his place⁴⁷²⁵ again.

4  And when they arose early⁷⁹²⁵ on the morrow^{4480 4283} morning,¹²⁴² behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Dagon¹⁷¹² was fallen⁵³⁰⁷ upon his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ to the ground⁷⁷⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and the head⁷²¹⁸ of Dagon¹⁷¹² and both⁸¹⁴⁷ the palms³⁷⁰⁹ of his hands³⁰²⁷ were cut off³⁷⁷² upon⁴¹³ the threshold;⁴⁶⁷⁰ only⁷⁵³⁵ the stump of Dagon¹⁷¹² was left⁷⁶⁰⁴ to⁵⁹²¹ him.

5  Therefore^{5921 3651} neither³⁸⁰⁸ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of Dagon,¹⁷¹² nor any³⁶⁰⁵ that come⁹³⁵ into Dagon's¹⁷¹² house,¹⁰⁰⁴ tread¹⁸⁶⁹ on⁵⁹²¹ the threshold⁴⁶⁷⁰ of Dagon¹⁷¹² in Ashdod⁷⁹⁵ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

6  But the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was heavy³⁵¹³ upon⁴¹³ them of Ashdod,⁷⁹⁵ and he destroyed⁸⁰⁷⁴ them, and smote⁵²²¹ them with emerods,⁶⁰⁷⁶ even ⁸⁵³ Ashdod⁷⁹⁵ and the coasts¹³⁶⁶ thereof.

7  And when the men³⁷⁶ of Ashdod⁷⁹⁵ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ it was so,³⁶⁵¹ they said,⁵⁵⁹ The ark⁷²⁷ of the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ abide³⁴²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ us: for³⁵⁸⁸ his hand³⁰²⁷ is sore⁷¹⁸⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us, and upon⁵⁹²¹ Dagon¹⁷¹² our god.⁴³⁰

8  They sent⁷⁹⁷¹ therefore and gathered^{622 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the lords⁵⁶³³ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ unto⁴¹³ them, and said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we do⁶²¹³ with the ark⁷²⁷ of the God⁴³⁰ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ And they answered,⁵⁵⁹ Let the ark⁷²⁷ of the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ be carried about⁵⁴³⁷ unto Gath.¹⁶⁶¹ And they carried^{5437 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ about thither.

9  And it was¹⁹⁶¹ so, that, after³¹⁰ they had carried it about,^{5437 853} the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ against the city⁵⁸⁹² with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great¹⁴¹⁹ destruction:⁴¹⁰³ and he smote^{5221 853} the men³⁷⁶ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² both small^{4480 6996} and great,¹⁴¹⁹ and they had emerods⁶⁰⁷⁶ in their secret parts.⁸³⁶⁸

10  Therefore they sent^{7971 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ to Ekron.⁶¹³⁸ And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ to Ekron,⁶¹³⁸ that the Ekronites⁶¹³⁹ cried out,²¹⁹⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ They have brought about^{5437 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to⁴¹³ us, to slay⁴¹⁹¹ us and our people.⁵⁹⁷¹

11  So they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and gathered together^{622 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the lords⁵⁶³³ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Send away^{7971 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and let it go again⁷⁷²⁵ to his own place,⁴⁷²⁵ that it slay⁴¹⁹¹ us not,³⁸⁰⁸ and our people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ a deadly⁴¹⁹⁴ destruction⁴¹⁰³ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the city;⁵⁸⁹² the hand³⁰²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ was very³⁹⁶⁶ heavy³⁵¹³ there.⁸⁰³³

12  And the men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ died⁴¹⁹¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ were smitten⁵²²¹ with the emerods:⁶⁰⁷⁶ and the cry⁷⁷⁷⁵ of the city⁵⁸⁹² went up⁵⁹²⁷ to heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

1 καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἔλαβον τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὴν ἐξ Αβεννεζερ εἰς Ἄζωτον

2 καὶ ἔλαβον ἀλλόφυλοι τὴν κιβωτὸν κυρίου καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον Δαγων καὶ παρέστησαν αὐτὴν παρὰ Δαγων

3 καὶ ὤρθρισαν οἱ Ἀζώτιοι καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς οἶκον Δαγων καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ Δαγων πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἤγειραν τὸν Δαγων καὶ κατέστησαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβαρύνθη χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς Ἀζωτίους καὶ ἐβασάνισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς ἕδρας αὐτῶν τὴν Ἄζωτον καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς

4 καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωί καὶ ἰδοὺ Δαγων πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ Δαγων καὶ ἀμφότερα τὰ ἴχνη χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀφῃρημένα ἐπὶ τὰ ἐμπρόσθια αμαφεθ ἕκαστον καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ καρποὶ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τὸ πρόθυρον πλὴν ἡ ῥάχις Δαγων ὑπελείφθη

5 διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπιβαίνουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς Δαγων καὶ πᾶς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς οἶκον Δαγων ἐπὶ βαθμὸν οἴκου Δαγων ἐν Ἀζώτῳ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ὅτι ὑπερβαίνοντες ὑπερβαίνουσιν

6 καὶ ἐβαρύνθη χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ Ἄζωτον καὶ ἐπήγαγεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξέζεσεν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὰς ναῦς καὶ μέσον τῆς χώρας αὐτῆς ἀνεφύησαν μύες καὶ ἐγένετο σύγχυσις θανάτου μεγάλη ἐν τῇ πόλει

7 καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἀζώτου ὅτι οὕτως καὶ λέγουσιν ὅτι οὐ καθήσεται κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ Ισραηλ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὅτι σκληρὰ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ Δαγων θεὸν ἡμῶν

8 καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν καὶ συνάγουσιν τοὺς σατράπας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ λέγουσιν τί ποιήσωμεν κιβωτῷ θεοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ λέγουσιν οἱ Γεθθαῖοι μετελθέτω κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ μετῆλθεν κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς Γεθθα

9 καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὸ μετελθεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ γίνεται χεὶρ κυρίου ἐν τῇ πόλει τάραχος μέγας σφόδρα καὶ ἐπάταξεν τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς πόλεως ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς ἕδρας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς οἱ Γεθθαῖοι ἕδρας

10 καὶ ἐξαποστέλλουσιν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς Ἀσκαλῶνα καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς εἰσῆλθεν κιβωτὸς θεοῦ εἰς Ἀσκαλῶνα καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ Ἀσκαλωνῖται λέγοντες τί ἀπεστρέψατε πρὸς ἡμᾶς τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ Ισραηλ θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὸν λαὸν ἡμῶν

11 καὶ ἐξαποστέλλουσιν καὶ συνάγουσιν τοὺς σατράπας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ εἶπον ἐξαποστείλατε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ καθισάτω εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ μὴ θανατώσῃ ἡμᾶς καὶ τὸν λαὸν ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐγενήθη σύγχυσις θανάτου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ πόλει βαρεῖα σφόδρα ὡς εἰσῆλθεν κιβωτὸς θεοῦ Ισραηλ ἐκεῖ

12 καὶ οἱ ζῶντες καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανόντες ἐπλήγησαν εἰς τὰς ἕδρας καὶ ἀνέβη ἡ κραυγὴ τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

1 Philisthiim autem tulerunt arcam Dei, et asportaverunt eam a lapide Adjutorii in Azotum.

2 Tuleruntque Philisthiim arcam Dei, et intulerunt eam in templum Dagon, et statuerunt eam juxta Dagon.

3 Cumque surrexissent diluculo Azotii altera die, ecce Dagon jacebat pronus in terra ante arcam Domini: et tulerunt Dagon, et restituerunt eum in locum suum.

4 Rursumque mane die altera consurgentes, invenerunt Dagon jacentem super faciem suam in terra coram arca Domini: caput autem Dagon, et duæ palmæ manuum ejus abscissæ erant super limen:

5 porro Dagon solus truncus remanserat in loco suo. Propter hanc causam non calcant sacerdotes Dagon, et omnes qui ingrediuntur templum ejus, super limen Dagon in Azoto, usque in hodiernum diem.

6 Aggravata est autem manus Domini super Azotios, et demolitus est eos: et percussit in secretiori parte natium Azotum, et fines ejus. Et ebullierunt villæ et agri in medio regionis illius, et nati sunt mures et facta est confusio mortis magnæ in civitate.

7 Videntes autem viri Azotii hujuscemodi plagam, dixerunt: Non maneat arca Dei Israël apud nos: quoniam dura est manus ejus super nos, et super Dagon deum nostrum.

8 Et mittentes congregaverunt omnes satrapas Philisthinorum ad se, et dixerunt: Quid faciemus de arca Dei Israël? Responderuntque Gethæi: Circumducatur arca Dei Israël. Et circumduxerunt arcam Dei Israël.

9 Illis autem circumducentibus eam, fiebat manus Domini per singulas civitates interfectionis magnæ nimis: et percutiebat viros uniuscujusque urbis, a parvo usque ad majorem, et computrescebant prominentes extales eorum. Inieruntque Gethæi consilium, et fecerunt sibi sedes pelliceas.

10 Miserunt ergo arcam Dei in Accaron. Cumque venisset arca Dei in Accaron, exclamaverunt Accaronitæ, dicentes: Adduxerunt ad nos arcam Dei Israël ut interficiat nos et populum nostrum.

11 Miserunt itaque et congregaverunt omnes satrapas Philisthinorum: qui dixerunt: Dimittite arcam Dei Israël, et revertatur in locum suum, et non interficiat nos cum populo nostro.

12 Fiebat enim pavor mortis in singulis urbibus, et gravissima valde manus Dei. Viri quoque qui mortui non fuerant, percutiebantur in secretiori parte natium: et ascendebat ululatus uniuscujusque civitatis in cælum.
