1 Samuel 4:16-18

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 1GodH430 is takenH3947.

18And it came to pass, when he mentioned the arkH727 of 2GodH430, 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.
