23 As for the Phi·lisʹtine axis lords, they gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Daʹgon+ their god* and for rejoicing, and they kept saying: “Our god has given into our hand Samson our enemy!”+

4 When they got up early in the morning the very day after, there Daʹgon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah, with the head of Daʹgon and the palms of both his hands cut off, to the threshold.*+ Only the fish part* had been left upon him.

2 Then A·ha·ziʹah fell down+ through the grating in his roof chamber+ that was in Sa·marʹi·a and got sick. So he sent messengers and said to them: “Go, inquire+ of Baʹal-zeʹbub*+ the god* of Ekʹron+ whether I shall revive from this sickness.”+
