A Philistine deity to whom the Philistines attributed their warfare success. When Israel's ark was captured and placed in Dagon's temple at Ashdod, the god's statue fell repeatedly and broke, foreshadowing his powerlessness against the true God. Judges and 1 Samuel record the Philistines' failed trust in this idol.
