Chap. V. Dagon falleth downe twise in presence of the Arke, his head and handes broken of. 6. The Philisthijms being sore plagued in al their cities where the arke cometh, 11. determine to send it backe to the Israelites.

1   And the Philistijms tooke the arke of God, and caried it from the Stone of helpe into Azotus.

2   And the Philistijms tooke the arke of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and sette it beside Dagon.

3   And when the Azotians had risen early the next day, behold note Dagon lay flatte on the ground before the arke of our Lord: and they tooke Dagon, and restored him into his place.

4   And agayne early the next day rising vp, they found Dagon lying vpon his face on the earth before the arke of our Lord: and the head of Dagon, and the two palmes of his handes were cutte of vpon the threshold:

5   moreouer the bodie only of Dagon was remayning in his place. For this cause the priestes of Dagon, and al that enter into his temple, tread not vpon the threshold of Dagon in Azotus vntil this day.

6   And the hand of our Lord was heauie vpon the Azotians, and he plagued them, and stroke Azotus and the coastes thereof in the secrete part of the fundament. And the townes and fieldes bubbled forth in the middes of that country, and there came forth mise, and there was confusion of great death in the citie.

7   And the men of Azotus seing this maner of plague, said: Let not the arke of the God of Israel tarie with vs: because his hand is sore vpon vs, and note vpon Dagon our God.

8   And sending they gathered together al the princes of the Philistijms to them, and said: What shal we doe with the arke of the God of Israel? And the Getheites answered: Let the arke of the God of Israel be caried about, and they caried about the arke of the God of Israel.

9   And they carying it about, the hand of our Lord was made through euerie citie by an exceding great slaughter: and it strake the men of euery city, from litle vnto great, & they had emeroides

10   They sent therfore the arke of God into Accaron. And when the arke of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cryed out, saying: They haue brought vnto vs the arke of the God of Israel, to kil vs & our people.

11   They sent therefore & gathered together al the princes of the Philistijms: who sayd: Dimisse the arke of the God of Israel, & let it returne into his place, & not kil vs with our people.

12   For there was made the feare of death in euery citie, & the hand of God exceding greuous. the men also that had not died, were striken in the secrete part of the buttockes: and the howling of euery citie went vp into heauen.
