And whan they of Aszdod rose vp early on the morowe, they founde Dagon lyenge on his face vpon the earth, before the Arke of the LORDE. But they toke vp Dagon, and set him agayne in his place. Neuertheles whan they rose vp early on the nexte mo∣rowe, they founde Dagon lyenge on his fa∣ce agayne vpon the earth before the Arke of the LORDE: but his heade and both his hā¦des hewen of vpon the threszholde, so that the block laie there onely. Therfore the pres∣tes of Dagon, and all they that go in to his house, treade not vpō the threszsholde of Da¦gon at Aszdod vnto this daye.

But the hande of the LORDE was heuy [ B] vpon them of Aszdod, and destroyed them, and smote Aszdod and all the borders therof in secrete places.

[ C] But whā they bare it aboute, there was a very greate rumoure in the cite thorow the hande of the LORDE, and smote the people of the cite, from the smallest vnto the grea∣test, and destroyed them in the secrete pla∣ces. Then sent they the Arke of the LORDE vnto Ekron. But whā the Arke of the LOR¦DE came vnto Ekron, they of Ekron cried: They haue caried the Arke of God aboute vnto me, to slaye me and my people.

[ D] Then sente they forth, and gathered all y^e prynces of the Philistynes together, and sayde: Sende awaye the Arke of the God of Israel agayne vnto hir place, that it slaye not me & my people: for there is a very grea∣te rumoure with the deed in all the cite, and the hande of God is there. And the people that dyed not, were smytten in secrete pla∣ces, so that the noyse of the cite wēte vp vn∣to heauen.
