1 Samuel 4:12-13

12Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with 1his clothes torn and 2dust on his head.

13When he came, behold, 3Eli was sitting on his seat 4by the road eagerly watching, because his heart was trembling for the ark of God. So the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.
