1 Samuel 5:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 5

1 Les Philistins prirent l’arche de Dieu, et ils la transportèrent d’Ében-Ézer à Asdod.

2 Après s’être emparés de l’arche de Dieu, les Philistins la firent entrer dans la maison de Dagon et la placèrent à côté de Dagon.

3 Le lendemain, les Asdodiens, qui s’étaient levés de bon matin, trouvèrent Dagon étendu la face contre terre, devant l’arche de l’Éternel. Ils prirent Dagon, et le remirent à sa place.

4 Le lendemain encore, s’étant levés de bon matin, ils trouvèrent Dagon étendu la face contre terre, devant l’arche de l’Éternel; la tête de Dagon et ses deux mains étaient abattues sur le seuil, et il ne lui restait que le tronc.

5 C’est pourquoi jusqu’à ce jour, les prêtres de Dagon et tous ceux qui entrent dans la maison de Dagon à Asdod ne marchent point sur le seuil.
