1 Samuel 5:4 (c) The head of the image was gone, for GOD has no use for the thoughts of men, or of idols. The feet were gone, for an idolatrous walk is rejected by GOD. The hands and arms were gone because GOD will not have the work of idolaters. The only part left was the stump, which was a picture of the helplessness, the uselessness and the worthlessness of idols and those who worship them.
