And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. Cursed David by his gods, х bee'ªlohaayw (H430)] - by his god (Dagon), as the word is used, Ezra 1:3. The Chaldee paraphrast, as quoted by Dean Stanley, represents this braggadocio as vaunting that he was the slayer of Hophni and Phinehas.
