The Book: 1st Samuel 5

1st Samuel 5

The Philistines capture the Ark of God in battle and take it to the temple of their fish god Dagon. Next morning, Dagon (he's an idol) is face-down on the floor in front of the Ark. They put Dagon back up, and next morning he's face-down in front of the Ark again, but with hands and head broken off, lying in the doorway. Some kind of cosmic prank? Was God trying to make a point to these idol worshippers?
