6 Now the hand of the LORD {YHWH} was heavy on the people of Ashdod (I will spoil) and its vicinity, ravaging them and afflicting them with tumors. [And rats appeared in their land, and death and destruction were throughout the city.] 7 And when the men of Ashdod (powerful) saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God) must not stay here with us, because His hand is heavy upon us and upon our god Dagon (a fish).” 1 Samuel 5:6-7, Berean Annotated Bible.
