“And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben–ezer unto Ashdod.”
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod—*vayiqchu Pelishtim et-aron Elohim* (the Philistines took the ark), transferring it to *Ashdod*, one of the five Philistine city-states. The territorial removal of the ark intensifies the sense of alienation and loss.
