Dagon's House:
(1Sa 5:2), or Beth-dagon, as elsewhere rendered (Jos 15:41; 19:27), was the sanctuary or temple of Dagon.
The Beth- dagon of Jos 15:41 was one of the cities of the tribe of Judah, in the lowland or plain which stretches westward. It has not been identified.
The Beth- dagon of Jos 19:27 was one of the border cities of Asher.
That of 1Ch 10:10 was in the western half-tribe of Manasseh, where the Philistines, after their victory at Gilboa, placed Saul's head in the temple of their god. (1Sa 31:8-13).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
