New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Samuel 4:19-22
19Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’s wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.
20And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “1Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention.
21And she called the boy 2Ichabod, saying, “3The glory has departed from Israel,” because 4the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22She said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God was taken.”
