Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
וַיַּצִּ֥יגוּ אֹת֖וֹ אֵ֥צֶל דָּגֽוֹן
and,placed DOM=him/it beside Dagon
Placing the Box of Yahweh beside Dagon in his temple was a symbolic action by which the Philistines were asserting that Dagon had defeated Yahweh and thus his people, the Israelites. They were treating the Box of God as a trophy of victory. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [And they placed it beside Dagon to suggest that Dagon had defeated Yahweh]

Dagon
The assumes that readers will know that by Dagon, he means the large statue of Dagon that was in the temple at Ashdod. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the large statue of Dagon in the temple]
5:2 Dagon was one of the Philistines’ gods (see Judg 16:23-24). The name could be related to the Hebrew dag (“fish”), an appropriate name for a god of seafaring people. More likely, it reflects the Hebrew dagan (“grain”), suggesting a fertility or agriculture god.
