1 Samuel 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 5:1

And the Philistines took the ark of God
Which fell into their hands, Israel being beaten, and caused to flee, and the priests that had the care of the ark slain; and when possessed of it, they did not destroy it, nor take out of it what was in it, only took it up:

and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
Ebenezer was the place where the camp of Israel was pitched, ( 1 Samuel 4:1 ) and near to which the battle was fought. Ashdod was one of the five principalities of the Philistines, the same with Azotus, ( Acts 8:40 ) . The distance between these two places, according to Bunting F17 was one hundred and sixty miles; though one would think the distance from each other was not so great: why it was carried to Ashdod is not plain; perhaps it might be the nearest place of note in their country; and certain it is that it was one of their most famous cities, if not the most famous; (See Gill on Isaiah 20:1), and had a famous idol temple in it.

1 Samuel 5:1 In-Context

1 El arca en territorio filisteo
Despu茅s de que los filisteos capturaran el arca de Dios, la llevaron del campo de batalla en Ebenezer hasta la ciudad de Asdod.
2 Llevaron el arca de Dios al templo del dios Dag贸n y la pusieron junto a una estatua de Dag贸n.
3 Pero cuando los ciudadanos de Asdod fueron a verla a la ma帽ana siguiente, 隆la estatua de Dag贸n hab铆a ca铆do boca abajo delante del arca del Se帽or
! As铆 que levantaron a Dag贸n y nuevamente lo colocaron en su lugar.
4 Pero temprano al d铆a siguiente sucedi贸 lo mismo: de nuevo Dag贸n hab铆a ca铆do boca abajo frente al arca del Se帽or
. Esta vez su cabeza y sus manos se hab铆an quebrado y estaban a la entrada; solo el tronco de su cuerpo qued贸 intacto.
5 Por eso, hasta el d铆a de hoy, ni los sacerdotes de Dag贸n ni nadie m谩s que entra al templo de Dag贸n, en Asdod, pisan el umbral.
