1 Samuel 4:12-22
12And there ranH7323 a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 out of the battleH4634, and cameH935 to ShilohH7887 the same dayH3117, with his clothes rent and with earthH127 upon his headH7218. 13And when he cameH935, behold, EliH5941 wasH1961 sittingH3427 upon the seatH3678 by the way-side watchingH6822; for his heartH3820 trembled for the arkH727 of 1GodH430. And the manH376 cameH935 to tellH5046 it in the cityH5892, and all the cityH5892 criedH2199 out. 14And EliH5941 heardH8085 the noise of the crying, and saidH559, What is the noise of this tumultH1995? And the manH376 cameH935 hastily, and toldH5046 EliH5941. 15Now EliH5941 was ninety-eight yearsH8141 old; and his eyesH5869 were setH6965, that he could not seeH7200. 16And the manH376 saidH559 to EliH5941, I am he that cameH935 out of the battleH4634, and I have fledH5127 to-day out of the battleH4634. And he saidH559, What has taken place, my sonH1121? 17And the messenger answered and saidH559, IsraelH3478 has fledH5127 before the PhilistinesH6430, and there has beenH1961 alsoH1571 a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and thy twoH8147 sonsH1121 alsoH1571, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191, and the arkH727 of 2GodH430 is takenH3947. 18And it came to pass, when he mentioned the arkH727 of 3GodH430, that he fellH5307 from off the seatH3678 backwardH322 by the side of the gateH8179, and his neck brokeH7665, and he diedH4191; for the manH376 wasH1961 oldH2204, 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 4GodH430 was takenH3947, and that her father-in-law and her husbandH376 were deadH4191, she bowedH3766 herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her. 20And as she was dyingH4191, the women that stoodH5324 by her saidH1696, FearH3372 not; for thou hast borneH3205 a sonH1121. But she did not answerH6030, neither did she take it to heartH3820. 21And she named the child Ichabod, sayingH559, The gloryH3519 is departed from IsraelH3478; because the arkH727 of 5GodH430 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 6GodH430 is takenH3947.
