Wesley's Notes

5:5 This day - When this history was written, which if written by Samuel towards the end of his life, was a sufficient ground for this expression.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. Therefore neither the priests . nor any . tread on the threshold of Dagon-A superstitious ceremony crept in, and in the providence of God was continued, by which the Philistines contributed to publish this proof of the helplessness of their god.

unto this day-The usage continued in practice at the time when this history was written-probably in the later years of Samuel's life.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:1-5 See the ark's triumph over Dagon. Thus the kingdom of Satan will certainly fall before the kingdom of Christ, error before truth, profaneness before godliness, and corruption before grace in the hearts of the faithful. When the interests of religion seem to be ready to sink, even then we may be confident that the day of their triumph will come. When Christ, the true Ark of the covenant, really enters the heart of fallen man, which is indeed Satan's temple, all idols will fall, every endeavour to set them up again will be vain, sin will be forsaken, and unrighteous gain restored; the Lord will claim and possess the throne. But pride, self-love, and worldly lusts, though dethroned and crucified, still remain within us, like the stump of Dagon. Let us watch and pray that they may not prevail. Let us seek to have them more entirely destroyed.


Zephaniah 1:9 "And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold, Who fill the house of their lord with violence and deceit. (NASB ©1995)
