6 Entonces el SE脩OR descarg贸 su mano sobre la poblaci贸n de Asdod y sus alrededores, y los azot贸 con tumores.

1 Samuel 5:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 5:6

But the hand of the Lord was heavy on them of Ashdod
Not only on their idol, but on themselves; it had crushed him to pieces, and now it fell heavy on them to their destruction:

and he destroyed them;
either by the disease after mentioned they were smitten with, or rather with some other, since that seems not to be mortal, though painful; it may be with the pestilence:

and smote them with emerods;
more properly haemorrhoids, which, as Kimchi says, was the name of a disease, but he says not what; Ben Gersom calls it a very painful disease, from whence comes a great quantity of blood. Josephus F21 takes it to be the dysentery or bloody flux; it seems to be what we commonly call the piles, and has its name in Hebrew from the height of them, rising up sometimes into high large tumours:

even Ashdod and the coasts thereof;
not only the inhabitants of the city were afflicted with this disease, but those of the villages round about.

1 Samuel 5:6 In-Context

4 Pero al d铆a siguiente, cuando se levantaron, volvieron a encontrar la estatua tirada en el suelo, boca abajo, frente al arca del SE脩OR. Sobre el umbral estaban su cabeza y sus dos manos, separadas del tronco.
5 Por eso, hasta el d铆a de hoy, ninguno de los que entran en el templo de Dag贸n en Asdod, incluso los sacerdotes, pisan el umbral.
6 Entonces el SE脩OR descarg贸 su mano sobre la poblaci贸n de Asdod y sus alrededores, y los azot贸 con tumores.
7 La gente de Asdod reconoci贸 lo que estaba pasando, y declar贸: 芦El arca del Dios de Israel no puede quedarse en medio nuestro, porque ese dios ha descargado su mano sobre nosotros y contra nuestro dios Dag贸n禄.
8 As铆 que convocaron a todos los jefes filisteos y les preguntaron:鈥斅縌u茅 vamos a hacer con el arca del Dios de Israel?鈥擳rasladen el arca del Dios de Israel a la ciudad de Gat 鈥攔espondieron los jefes.Y as铆 lo hicieron.
