Eventually, the Lord brought them out of Egypt with a mighty hand (Deuteronomy 6:21).
The Hand of the Lord upon the people of Ashdod:
This happened when the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to Ashdod. The consequence of their Idol worshipping of Dagon their god was severe as people were ravaged with cancers. “But the hand of the Lord was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He ravaged them and struck them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god.” Therefore, they sent and gathered to themselves all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” (1 Samuel 5: 6-8).
The hand of the Lord brings mercy:
And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man” (2 Samuel 24:14).

Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel. ” (Isaiah 45:1-2).
