1 Samuel 4:3-11

3When the peopleH5971 cameH935 into the campH4264, the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, “1WhyH4100 has the LordH3068 defeatedH5062 us todayH3117 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430? 2Let us takeH3947 to ourselves from ShilohH7887 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, that 3it may comeH935 amongH7130 us and deliverH3467 us from the powerH3709 of our enemiesH340.” 4So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 to ShilohH7887, and from thereH8033 they carriedH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 4who sitsH3427 above the cherubimH3742; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were thereH8033 with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.

5As the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 cameH935 into the campH4264, 5allH3605 IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 resoundedH1949. 6When the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559, “WhatH4100 does the noiseH6963 of thisH2088 greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680 mean?” Then they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LordH3068 had comeH935 into the campH4264. 7The PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372, for they saidH559, “GodH430 has comeH935 into the campH4264.” And they saidH559, “6WoeH188 to us! For nothingH3808 like thisH2088 has happenedH1961 beforeH8543H8032. 8WoeH188 to us! WhoH4310 shall deliverH5337 us from the handH3027 of theseH428 mightyH117 godsH430? TheseH428 are the godsH430 who smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with allH3605 kinds of plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057. 97TakeH2388 courageH2388 and be menH376, O PhilistinesH6430, orH6435 you will becomeH5647 slavesH5647 to the HebrewsH5680, 8as they have beenH5647 slavesH5647 to you; therefore, be menH376 and fightH3898.”

10So the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 and 9IsraelH3478 was 10defeatedH5062, and 11everyH376 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 12the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, diedH4191.
