ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૫:૩
જયારે બીજે દિવસે આશ્દોદીઓ વહેલી સવારે ઊઠ્યા, ત્યારે, જુઓ, દાગોને ઈશ્વરના કોશ આગળ ભૂમિ પર ઊંધો પડેલો હતો. તેથી તેઓએ દાગોનને લઈને તેના અસલ સ્થાને પાછો બેસાડ્યો.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ५:३
दूसरे दिन अश्दोदियों ने तड़के उठकर क्या देखा, कि दागोन यहोवा के सन्दूक के सामने औंधे मुँह भूमि पर गिरा पड़ा है। तब उन्होंने दागोन को उठाकर उसी के स्थान पर फिर खड़ा किया।
