King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And the Philistines[H6430] took[H3947] [H853] the ark[H727] of God,[H430] and brought[H935] it from Ebenezer[H4480] [H72] unto Ashdod.[H795]

2. When the Philistines[H6430] took[H3947] [H853] the ark[H727] of God,[H430] they brought[H935] it into the house[H1004] of Dagon,[H1712] and set[H3322] it by[H681] Dagon.[H1712]

3. And when they of Ashdod[H795] arose early[H7925] on the morrow,[H4480] [H4283] behold,[H2009] Dagon[H1712] was fallen[H5307] upon his face[H6440] to the earth[H776] before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the LORD.[H3068] And they took[H3947] [H853] Dagon,[H1712] and set[H7725] him in his place[H4725] again.

4. And when they arose early[H7925] on the morrow[H4480] [H4283] morning,[H1242] behold,[H2009] Dagon[H1712] was fallen[H5307] upon his face[H6440] to the ground[H776] before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the LORD;[H3068] and the head[H7218] of Dagon[H1712] and both[H8147] the palms[H3709] of his hands[H3027] were cut off[H3772] upon[H413] the threshold;[H4670] only[H7535] the stump of Dagon[H1712] was left[H7604] to[H5921] him.

5. Therefore[H5921] [H3651] neither[H3808] the priests[H3548] of Dagon,[H1712] nor any[H3605] that come[H935] into Dagon's[H1712] house,[H1004] tread[H1869] on[H5921] the threshold[H4670] of Dagon[H1712] in Ashdod[H795] unto[H5704] this[H2088] day.[H3117]

6. But the hand[H3027] of the LORD[H3068] was heavy[H3513] upon[H413] them of Ashdod,[H795] and he destroyed[H8074] them, and smote[H5221] them with emerods,[H6076] even[H853] Ashdod[H795] and the coasts[H1366] thereof.

7. And when the men[H376] of Ashdod[H795] saw[H7200] that[H3588] it was so,[H3651] they said,[H559] The ark[H727] of the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] shall not[H3808] abide[H3427] with[H5973] us: for[H3588] his hand[H3027] is sore[H7185] upon[H5921] us, and upon[H5921] Dagon[H1712] our god.[H430]

8. They sent[H7971] therefore and gathered[H622] [H853] all[H3605] the lords[H5633] of the Philistines[H6430] unto[H413] them, and said,[H559] What[H4100] shall we do[H6213] with the ark[H727] of the God[H430] of Israel?[H3478] And they answered,[H559] Let the ark[H727] of the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] be carried about[H5437] unto Gath.[H1661] And they carried[H5437] [H853] the ark[H727] of the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] about thither.

9. And it was[H1961] so, that, after[H310] they had carried it about,[H5437] [H853] the hand[H3027] of the LORD[H3068] was[H1961] against the city[H5892] with a very[H3966] great[H1419] destruction:[H4103] and he smote[H5221] [H853] the men[H376] of the city,[H5892] both small[H4480] [H6996] and great,[H1419] and they had emerods[H6076] in their secret parts.[H8368]

10. Therefore they sent[H7971] [H853] the ark[H727] of God[H430] to Ekron.[H6138] And it came to pass,[H1961] as the ark[H727] of God[H430] came[H935] to Ekron,[H6138] that the Ekronites[H6139] cried out,[H2199] saying,[H559] They have brought about[H5437] [H853] the ark[H727] of the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] to[H413] us, to slay[H4191] us and our people.[H5971]

11. So they sent[H7971] and gathered together[H622] [H853] all[H3605] the lords[H5633] of the Philistines,[H6430] and said,[H559] Send away[H7971] [H853] the ark[H727] of the God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] and let it go again[H7725] to his own place,[H4725] that it slay[H4191] us not,[H3808] and our people:[H5971] for[H3588] there was[H1961] a deadly[H4194] destruction[H4103] throughout all[H3605] the city;[H5892] the hand[H3027] of God[H430] was very[H3966] heavy[H3513] there.[H8033]

12. And the men[H376] that[H834] died[H4191] not[H3808] were smitten[H5221] with the emerods:[H6076] and the cry[H7775] of the city[H5892] went up[H5927] to heaven.[H8064]
