1 Samuel 4:10-17
10So the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 and 1IsraelH3478 was defeatedH5062, and 2everyH376 manH376 fledH5127 to his tentH168; and the defeatH4347 was veryH3966 greatH1419, for thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footH7273 soldiersH7273 of IsraelH3478 fellH5307. 11Moreover, the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947; and 3the 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 4his clothesH4055 tornH7167, and 5dustH127 on his headH7218. 13When he cameH935, beholdH2009, 6EliH5941 was sittingH3427 on his seatH3678 7by the roadH1870 keepingH6822 watchH6822, becauseH3588 his heartH3820 was anxiousH2730 aboutH5921 the arkH727 of GodH430. And the manH376 cameH935 to giveH5046 aH5046 reportH5046 in the cityH5892, and allH3605 the cityH5892 criedH2199 outH2199. 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 8his eyesH5869 were 9fixedH6965 and 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 are thingsH1697, my sonH1121?” 17Then the one who broughtH1319 the newsH1319 repliedH6030, “IsraelH3478 has fledH5127 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430 and there has alsoH1571 beenH1961 a greatH1419 defeatH4046 among the peopleH5971, and your twoH8147 sonsH1121, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372 are alsoH1571 deadH4191; and the arkH727 of GodH430 has been takenH3947.”
