1Samuel:4:12-22
web@1Samuel:4:12 @There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head.
web@1Samuel:4:13 @When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
web@1Samuel:4:14 @When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, "What does the noise of this tumult mean?" The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
web@1Samuel:4:15 @Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.
web@1Samuel:4:16 @The man said to Eli, "I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army." He said, "How did the matter go, my son?"
web@1Samuel:4:17 @He who brought the news answered, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured."
web@1Samuel:4:18 @It happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
web@1Samuel:4:19 @His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
web@1Samuel:4:20 @About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, "Don't be afraid; for you have given birth to a son." But she didn't answer, neither did she regard it.
web@1Samuel:4:21 @She named the child Ichabod, {"Ichabod" means "no glory."} saying, "The glory has departed from Israel"; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
web@1Samuel:4:22 @She said, "The glory has departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken."
