1 Samuele 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 Samuele 5:6 In-Context

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.
6 Poi la mano dell’Eterno si aggravò su quei di Asdod, portò fra loro la desolazione, e li colpì di emorroidi, a Asdod e nel suo territorio.
7 E quando quelli di Asdod videro che così avveniva, dissero: "L’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele non rimarrà presso di noi, poiché la mano di lui è dura su noi e su Dagon, nostro dio".
8 Mandaron quindi a convocare presso di loro tutti i principi dei Filistei, e dissero: "Che faremo dell’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele?" I principi risposero: "Si trasporti l’arca dell’Iddio d’Israele a Gath".
