The cavalry were scattered in the plain. They fled to Azotus and entered into Beth-dagon, their idol’s temple, to save themselves.

EXPLANATION

Verse 83. And. Et qui seems to be mistaken for equi, “the horsemen,” as the Greek Syr. and Jos. read.—Bethdagon, “the house of Dagon.”—Temple. This is the sense of the Greek. Calmet.—Vulg. has literally, “their idols.” See Judges 16:23. Bible.
