બીજે દિવસે તેઓ વહેલી સવારે ઊઠ્યા, ત્યારે પણ, ઈશ્વરના કોશ આગળ દાગોન ભૂમિ પર ઊંધો પડેલો હતો. દાગોનનું શિર તથા તેના બન્ને હાથો દરવાજાના ઉંબરા ભાંગી પડેલાં હતાં. કેવળ દાગોનનું ધડ રહ્યું હતું.

फिर अगले दिन जब वे तड़के उठे, तब क्या देखा, कि दागोन यहोवा के सन्दूक के सामने औंधे मुँह भूमि पर गिरा पड़ा है; और दागोन का सिर और दोनों हथेलियाँ डेवढ़ी पर कटी हुई पड़ी हैं; इस प्रकार दागोन का केवल धड़ समूचा रह गया।
