When the people of
Ashdod got up
early the next morning, there was
Dagon, fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD. So they took
Dagon and returned him to his place.
And when they arose
early on the
morrow morning, behold,
Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of
Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the
threshold; only the
stump of
Dagon was left to him.
But when they got up
early the next morning, there was
Dagon, fallen on his face before the ark of the LORD, with his head and his hands broken off and lying on the
threshold. Only the
torso remained.
And he will
appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over
fifties; and will set them to
ear his ground, and to
reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his
chariots.
He will
appoint some for himself as commanders of thousands and of
fifties, and others to
plow his ground, to
reap his harvest, to make his weapons of war, and to
equip his
chariots.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he
rehearsed them in the
ears of the LORD.
Samuel
listened to all the words of the people and repeated them in the hearing of the LORD.
Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,

And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
They got up
early in the morning, and just before
dawn Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way!” So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went outside together.
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the
tidings in the
ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and
wept.
When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and relayed these words in the hearing of the people, they all
wept aloud.
And there was
trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also
trembled, and the
earth quaked: so it was a very great
trembling.
Then terror struck the Philistines in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even those in the outposts and
raiding parties
trembled. Indeed, the
earth quaked and
panic spread from God.
And when Samuel rose
early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to
Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to
Gilgal.
Early in the morning Samuel got up to
confront Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to
Carmel, and behold, he has set up a monument for himself and has turned and gone down to
Gilgal.”
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this
bleating of the sheep in mine
ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
But Samuel replied, “Then what is this
bleating of sheep and lowing of cattle that I hear?”
