* And the messenger answered and said , Israel is fled before the Philistines , and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people , and thy two sons also , Hophni and Phinehas , are dead , and the ark of God is taken . * And it came to pass , when he made mention of the ark of God , that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate sha #ar #, and his neck brake , and he died : for he was an old man , and heavy . And he had judged Israel forty #arba #iym # years .
