So they took Dagon and set him back up where he belonged. 4But when they got up early the next morning, there was Dagon again, fallen facedown on the ground before the LORD\u2019s chest\u2014and this time Dagon\u2019s head along with both his hands were cut off and lying on the doorstep! Only Dagon\u2019s body was left intact. 5That\u2019s why to this day Dagon\u2019s priests or anyone else who enters his temple in Ashdod doesn\u2019t step on the threshold.<br>6The LORD\u2019s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod: God terrified them and struck them in Ashdod and its surroundings with tumors. 7When Ashdod\u2019s inhabitants saw what was happening, they said, \u201cThe chest of Israel\u2019s God must not stay here with us because his hand is hard against us and against our god Dagon.\u201d<br>8So they summoned all the Philistine rulers to a meeting and asked, \u201cWhat should we do with the chest of Israel\u2019s God?\u201d The people of Gath said, \u201cLet the chest of Israel\u2019s God be moved to us.\u201d So they moved the chest of Israel\u2019s God to Gath. 9But once they moved it, the LORD\u2019s hand came against the city, causing a huge panic. God struck the city\u2019s inhabitants, both young and old, and tumors broke out on them.<br>10Then they sent God\u2019s chest to Ekron, but as soon as God\u2019s chest entered Ekron, the inhabitants cried out, \u201cWhy have you moved the chest of Israel\u2019s God to us? In order to kill us and our people?\u201d<br>11So they summoned all the Philistine rulers to a meeting and said, \u201cSend the chest of Israel\u2019s God away! Let it go back to its own home so it doesn\u2019t kill us and our people,\u201d because there was a deadly panic throughout the whole city. The hand of God was very heavy there. 12The people who didn\u2019t die were struck with tumors, and the screams of the city went all the way up to heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God\u2019s chest among the Philistines1After the Philistines took God\u2019s chest, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2Then the Philistines took God\u2019s chest and brought it into Dagon\u2019s temple and set it next to Dagon. 3But when the citizens of Ashdod got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen facedown on the ground [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1892,1893,6,752,5],"class_list":["post-2272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-youtube","tag-1-samuel-5-gods-chest-among-the-philistines","tag-https-www-youtube-com-watchvkkseqpirbcmt6s","tag-thomas-mcneilly","tag-thomas-mcneilly-videos","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2273,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2272\/revisions\/2273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temtube.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
