1 Samuel 5:4-6
Good News Translation
4 Early the following morning they saw that the statue had again fallen down in front of the Covenant Box. This time its head and both its arms were broken off and were lying in the doorway; only the body was left. (5 That is why even today the priests of Dagon and all his worshipers in Ashdod step over that place and do not walk on it.)
6 The Lord punished the people of Ashdod severely and terrified them. He punished them and the people in the surrounding territory by causing them to have tumors.[a]

- 1 Samuel 5:6 The association of tumors with an abundance of mice suggests that this was a case of bubonic plague (see 6.5).
