1 Samuel 5:2-5

2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside ^aDagon. 3 And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, ^bDagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place. 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, ^cand the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off on 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 ^ddo not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
