“When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.”
Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it beside Dagon—the *bayit Dagon* (house of Dagon), the Philistine fish-god, becomes the arena for divine encounter. Placing the ark beside Dagon is meant as an act of submission, but the LORD will demonstrate cosmic superiority.
