📚 Contexto Histórico
The Philistines had captured the ark of the covenant from Israel and placed it in their temple next to their fish-god Dagon in the city of Ashdod. This was meant to show that their god had defeated Israel's God, but the opposite happened. Dagon was an important fertility and grain god worshiped throughout the ancient Near East, making his defeat particularly significant.
