1 Samuel 4:17-22

17And he that brought the tidings answered and saidH559, IsraelH3478 is fledH5127 before the PhilistinesH6430, and there hath beenH1961 alsoH1571 a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and thy twoH8147 sonsH1121 alsoH1571, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191, and the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947. 18And it came to pass, when he made mention of the arkH727 of GodH430, that Eli fellH5307 from off his seatH3678 backwardH322 by the side of the gateH8179; and his neck brake, and he diedH4191: for he wasH1961 an oldH2204 manH376, and heavyH3515. And he had judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.

19And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wifeH802, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heardH8085 the tidings that the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947, and that her father-in-law and her husbandH376 were deadH4191, she bowedH3766 herself and brought forthH3205; for her pains came upon her. 20And about the timeH6256 of her deathH4191 the women that stoodH5324 by her saidH1696 unto her, FearH3372 not; for thou hast broughtH3205 forthH3205 a sonH1121. But she answeredH6030 not, neither did she regard it. 21And she named the child Ichabod, sayingH559, The gloryH3519 is departed from IsraelH3478; because the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947, and because of her father-in-law and her husbandH376. 22And she saidH559, The gloryH3519 is departed from IsraelH3478; for the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.
