 | | After the Isrealites settled in Canaan, the Ark of the Covenant was briefly captured by the Philistines, who took it to several places in their land, causing each one to suffer some sort of misfortune. |
 | | When the Philistines placed the Ark in Ashdod, before a great statue of their god, Dagon, the statue was soon found to be smashed beside the Ark. A plague of disease, death and famine rained down on the Philistines. |
 | | Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood were prisoners at the Ark ceremony, but both closed their eyes and refused to look at the Ark. They were spared the fiery cataclysm that consumed Belloq, Toht, Deitrich and the other Germans. |
