1 Samuel 5:6 in Context — 1 Samuel 5

4 E voltando-se a levantar de manhã o dia seguinte, eis que Dagom havia caído prostrado em terra diante da arca do SENHOR; e a cabeça de Dagom, e as duas palmas de suas mãos estavam cortadas sobre o umbral, havendo restado a Dagom o tronco somente.

5 Por esta causa os sacerdotes de Dagom, e todos os que no templo de Dagom entram, não pisam o umbral de Dagom em Asdode, até hoje.

6 Porém agravou-se a mão do SENHOR sobre os de Asdode, e assolou-os, e feriu-os com chagas em Asdode e em todos seus termos.

7 E vendo isto os de Asdode, disseram: Não fique conosco a arca do Deus de Israel, porque sua mão é dura sobre nós, e sobre nosso deus Dagom.

8 Mandaram, pois, juntar a si todos os príncipes dos filisteus, e disseram: Que faremos da arca do Deus de Israel? E eles responderam: Passe-se a arca do Deus de Israel a Gate. E passaram ali a arca do Deus de Israel.
