Next morning when the citizens of Ashdod got up, they were shocked to find Dagon toppled from his place, flat on his face before the Chest of god. They picked him up and put him back where he belonged. First thing the next morning they found him again, toppled and flat on his face before the Chest of god. Dagon's head and arms were broken off, strewn across the entrance. Only his torso was in one piece.

Because you said No to god's command, he says No to your kingship.

Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult. Getting self-important around God is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said No to God's command, he says No to your kingship.
