Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 5:7 - upon Dagon our god 1 Samuel 6:1 - the ark 1 Samuel 6:5 - off your 1 Samuel 11:14 - renew Isaiah 41:6 - helped Isaiah 44:11 - all his Jeremiah 22:28 - a despised Jeremiah 48:13 - ashamed Acts 19:28 - and cried

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 5:3. They of Ashdod arose early on the morrow — Probably to perform some act of their superstition in the temple of their idol.

Dagon was fallen upon his face — This was one proof, which they little expected, of the superiority of the God of Israel.

Set him in his place again. — Supposing his fall might have been merely accidental.
