Dagon
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary
The dunghill god of the Philistines. We have the relation concerning this idol, Judges 16:23 and again, 1 Samuel 5:2, etc. The name seems well suited for such a purpose, being derived from Dag, fish. Some historians say, that the idol was formed like a fish.
