But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and worshiped instead the gods of the native peoples whom God had destroyed before them.

They placed his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.

For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise, he is more awesome than all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the heavens.

And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation in the earth? Their God went to claim a nation for himself! You made a name for yourself by doing great and awesome deeds when you drove out nations before your people whom you had delivered from the Egyptian empire and its gods.
