      1;  The Philistines having brought the ark into Ashdod, set it
         in the house of Dagon.
      3;  Dagon is smitten down and cut in pieces, and they of Ashdod
         smitten with emerods.
      8;  So God deals with them of Gath, when it was brought

     * Ashdod.
       Ashdod, called Azotus by the Greeks, was one of the five
       satrapies of the Philistines, and a place of great strength
       and consequence.  It was situated near the Mediterranean,
       between Askelon and Jamnia, thirty-four miles north of Gaza,
       according to Diodorus Siculus, and the Antonine and Jerusalem
       Itineraries.  It is now called Shdood; and Dr. Richardson says
       they neither saw nor heard of any ruins there.  "The ground,"
       he observes, "around Ashdod is beautifully undulating, but not
       half stocked with cattle.  The site of the town is on the
       summit of a grassy hill; and, if we are to believe historians,
       was anciently as strong as it was beautiful."
