lesserot - 1Samuel:4:12-22

lesserot@1Samuel:4:12 @ And there ran a man of Benjamin from the battlefield, and came to Shiloh on the same day, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:13 @ And when he came, lo, Eli was sitting upon a chair by the wayside watching; for his heart was anxious for the ark of God. And when the man came to tell it in the city, all the city cried out.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:14 @ And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this multitude? And the man came in hastily, and told it to Eli.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:15 @ Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, so that he could not see.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:16 @ And the man said unto Eli, I am the person that came from the battlefield, and I myself fled from the battlefield today. And he said, What was it that took place, my son?

lesserot@1Samuel:4:17 @ And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath also been a great slaughter among the people, and also thy two sons, Chophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God hath been taken.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the chair backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:19 @ And his daughterinlaw, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings concerning that the ark of God had been taken, and that her fatherinlaw and her husband were dead, she sank down and gave birth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:20 @ And at the moment of her dying, the women that stood around her spoke, Fear not; for a son hast thou born. But she answered not, nor did she take it to heart.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:21 @ And she named the child Ichabod, saying, Glory is departed from Israel; because of the taking away of the ark of God, and because of her fatherinlaw and her husband.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:22 @ And she said, Glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God hath been taken away.
