2 The Philistines took God’s ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.

3 When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh’s ark. They took Dagon and set him in his place again.

and to rise Ashdod from morrow and behold Dagon to fall: fall to/for face his land: soil [to] to/for face: before ark LORD and to take: take [obj] Dagon and to return: return [obj] him to/for place his

4 When they arose early on the following morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh’s ark; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold. Only Dagon’s torso was intact.

and to rise in/on/with morning from morrow and behold Dagon to fall: fall to/for face his land: soil [to] to/for face: before ark LORD and head Dagon and two palm hand his to cut: eliminate to(wards) [the] threshold except Dagon to remain upon him

6 But Yahweh’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.

and to honor: heavy hand: power LORD to(wards) [the] Ashdod and be desolate: appalled them and to smite [obj] them (in/on/with tumor *QK) [obj] Ashdod and [obj] border: area her

7 When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us, for his hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god.”

and to see: see human Ashdod for so and to say not to dwell ark God Israel with us for to harden hand: power his upon us and upon Dagon God our

8 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.

and to send: depart and to gather [obj] all lord Philistine to(wards) them and to say what? to make: do to/for ark God Israel and to say Gath to turn: turn ark God Israel and to turn: turn [obj] ark God Israel

9 It was so, that after they had carried it there, Yahweh’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion; and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them.

10 So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”

and to send: depart [obj] ark [the] God Ekron and to be like/as to come (in): come ark [the] God Ekron and to cry out [the] Ekron to/for to say to turn: turn to(wards) me [obj] ark God Israel to/for to die me and [obj] people my

11 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.

and to send: depart and to gather [obj] all lord Philistine and to say to send: depart [obj] ark God Israel and to return: return to/for place his and not to die [obj] me and [obj] people my for to be tumult death in/on/with all [the] city to honor: heavy much hand: power [the] God there

12 The men who didn’t die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
