4. But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the LORD, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off upon the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.

5. This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

8. So they sent 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 brought around to Gath." So they brought the ark of the God of Israel there.

9. Postquam autem circumduxerunt eam, facta est manus Domini super civitatem, pavor magnus nimis; et percussit viros urbis a parvo usque ad maiorem, et eruperunt eis tumores.

For there was a deathly panic throughout the whole city. The hand of God was very heavy there;

12. Fiebat enim pavor mortis in tota civitate, et gravissima valde manus Dei. Viri quoque, qui mortui non fuerant, percutiebantur tumoribus, et ascendebat ululatus civitatis in caelum.

12. the men who did not die were stricken with tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
