1 Samuel 4:14-18
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 1his eyesH5869 were 2fixedH6965 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, “3HowH4100 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.” 18When he mentionedH2142 the arkH727 of GodH430, 45Eli fellH5307 offH4480H5921 the seatH3678 backwardH322 besideH5704H3027 the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 was brokenH7665 and he diedH4191, for 6he wasH2204 oldH2204 and heavyH3515. And so he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 for fortyH705 yearsH8141.
