1 Samuel 4:18-22

18When he mentionedH2142 the arkH727 of GodH430, 12Eli fellH5307 offH4480H5921 the seatH3678 backwardH322 besideH5704H3027 the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 was brokenH7665 and he diedH4191, for 3he 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, “4Do not be afraidH3372, for you have givenH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121.” But she did not answerH6030 or payH7896 attentionH3820. 21And she calledH7121 the boyH5288 5IchabodH350, sayingH559, “6The gloryH3519 has departedH1540 from IsraelH3478,” becauseH413 7the 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.”
