1 Samuele 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 5:3

And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow,
&e.] Either the people, the inhabitants of the place, who came early to pay their devotions to their idol, before they went on their business; or the priests of the idol, who came to sacrifice in the morning:

and, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark
of the Lord;
as if he was subject to it, and giving adoration to it, and owning it was above him, and had superior power over him:

and they took Dagon, and set him in his place again;
having no notion that it was owing to the ark of God, or to the God of Israel, that he was fallen, but that it was a matter of chance.

1 Samuele 5:3 In-Context

1 I Filistei, dunque, presero l’arca di Dio, e la trasportarono da Eben-Ezer a Asdod;
2 presero l’arca di Dio, la portarono nella casa di Dagon, e la posarono allato a Dagon.
3 E il giorno dopo, gli Asdodei alzatisi di buon’ora trovarono Dagon caduto con la faccia a terra, davanti all’arca dell’Eterno. Presero Dagon e lo rimisero al suo posto.
4 Il giorno dopo, alzatisi di buon’ora, trovarono che Dagon era di nuovo caduto con la faccia a terra, davanti all’Arca dell’Eterno; la testa e ambedue le mani di Dagon giacevano mozzate sulla soglia, e non gli restava più che il tronco.
5 Perciò, fino al dì d’oggi, i sacerdoti di Dagon e tutti quelli che entrano nella casa di Dagon a Asdod non pongono il piede sulla soglia.
