Today's reading in I Samuel 3-7 tells of the capture of the Ark of God by the Philistines.  I don't know which is the more satisfying show of power by God -- the temple of Dagon, or the Philistine cities which are devastated as the Ark moves around the country.  Maybe this was the beginning of the phrase "tiger by the tail".
