1 Samuel6:5
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice, that mar the land, and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel ▪ peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods , and from off your land.
The Glory of his Power in Conquering you, who seemed and pretended to have Conquered him; of his Justice in Punishing you, and of his Goodness if he shall Relieve you.
They so speak, either because not only Dagon, but their other gods also, were thrown down by the Ark, though that be not related; or because the Plural Number in that Case, was commonly used for the Singular.
