1 Samuel 4:10-18

10So the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 and 1IsraelH3478 was 2defeatedH5062, and 3everyH376 manH376 fledH5127 to his tentH168; and the slaughterH4347 was veryH3966 greatH1419, for there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footH7273 soldiersH7273. 11And the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947; and 4the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, diedH4191.

12Now a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 ranH7323 from the battleH4634 lineH4634 and cameH935 to ShilohH7887 the sameH1931 dayH3117 with 5his clothesH4055 tornH7167 and 6dustH127 on his headH7218. 13When he cameH935, beholdH2009, 7EliH5941 was sittingH3427 on his seatH3678 8by the roadH1870 eagerly watchingH6822, becauseH3588 his heartH3820 was tremblingH2730 for the arkH727 of GodH430. So the manH376 cameH935 to tellH5046 it in the cityH5892, and allH3605 the cityH5892 criedH2199 out. 14When EliH5941 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the outcryH6818, he saidH559, “WhatH4100 does the noiseH6963 of thisH2088 commotionH1995 mean?” Then the manH376 cameH935 hurriedlyH4116 and toldH5046 EliH5941. 15Now EliH5941 was ninety-eightH8673H8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and 9his eyesH5869 were setH6965 so that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. 16The manH376 saidH559 to EliH5941, “I am the one who cameH935 from the battleH4634 lineH4634. Indeed, I escapedH5127 from the battleH4634 lineH4634 todayH3117.” And he saidH559, “10HowH4100 did thingsH1697 goH1961, my sonH1121?” 17Then the one who broughtH1319 the newsH1319 repliedH6030, “IsraelH3478 has fledH5127 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430 and there has alsoH1571 beenH1961 a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and your twoH8147 sonsH1121 alsoH1571, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191, and the arkH727 of GodH430 has been takenH3947.” 18When he mentionedH2142 the arkH727 of GodH430, 1112Eli fellH5307 offH4480H5921 the seatH3678 backwardH322 besideH5704H3027 the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 was brokenH7665 and he diedH4191, for 13he was oldH2204 and heavyH3515. Thus he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
