Judges 16:23
_ _ Judges 16:23-25. Their feast to Dagon.
_ _ the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon — It was a common practice in heathen nations, on the return of their solemn religious festivals, to bring forth their war prisoners from their places of confinement or slavery; and, in heaping on them every species of indignity, they would offer their grateful tribute to the gods by whose aid they had triumphed over their enemies. Dagon was a sea idol, usually represented as having the head and upper parts human, while the rest of the body resembled a fish. |

1 Corinthians 8:4-5 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one. ...
