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.
