1 Samuel 5:1 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained.

Was there a hemorrhoid god in the Bible?
In a way, yes there was.God punished the Philistines in I Samuel 5 and 6 with "emerods" [hemorrhoids; NIV:"tumors"] when they stole the Ark of the Covenant.The suffering of the Philistines went on for a period of time before they attributed their plague, pain and misery with the Ark. They decided to pass it off onto others of their clans but each one suffered in turn... and it was the consensus to return the Ark to the Israelites with a "tribute" attached: "images" [idols] of "five golden emerods" [hemorrhoids] and "five golden mice."To the Philistines, who were big on idol worship [i.e.; Dagon], these "images" were "god-like" idols. So, technically... to the suffering Philistines... there were "five golden hemorrhoid gods" in their repertoire of idols.
