1 Samuel 4:12-22

12Now a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 ranH7323 from the battleH4634 lineH4634 and cameH935 to ShilohH7887 the sameH1931 dayH3117 with 1his clothesH4055 tornH7167 and 2dustH127 on his headH7218. 13When he cameH935, beholdH2009, 3EliH5941 was sittingH3427 on his seatH3678 4by 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 5his 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, “6HowH4100 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, 78Eli fellH5307 offH4480H5921 the seatH3678 backwardH322 besideH5704H3027 the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 was brokenH7665 and he diedH4191, for 9he was oldH2204 and heavyH3515. Thus he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.

19Now his daughter-in-lawH3618, Phinehas’sH6372 wifeH802, was pregnantH2030 and about to giveH3205 birthH3205; and when she heardH8085 the newsH8052 that the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947 and that her father-in-lawH2524 and her husbandH376 had diedH4191, she kneeledH3766 downH3766 and gaveH3205 birthH3205, for her painsH6735 cameH2015 upon her. 20And about the timeH6256 of her deathH4191 the women who stoodH5324 by her saidH1696 to her, “10Do not be afraidH3372, for you have givenH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121.” But she did not answerH6030 or payH7896 attentionH3820. 21And she calledH7121 the boyH5288 11IchabodH350, sayingH559, “12The gloryH3519 has departedH1540 from IsraelH3478,” becauseH413 13the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947 and becauseH413 of her father-in-lawH2524 and her husbandH376. 22She saidH559, “The gloryH3519 has departedH1540 from IsraelH3478, for the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947.”
