1 Samuel 4:4-11
4So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 men to ShilohH7887, and from thereH8033 they carriedH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 1who isH3427 enthronedH3427 above the cherubimH3742; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were thereH8033 with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
5And as the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 was comingH935 into the campH4264, 2allH3605 IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 resoundedH1949. 6And when 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. 7So the PhilistinesH6430 wereH3372 afraidH3372, for they saidH559, “GodH430 has comeH935 into the campH4264!” And they saidH559, “3WoeH188 to us! For nothingH3808 like thisH2088 has happenedH1961 beforeH8543H8032. 8WoeH188 to us! WhoH4310 will saveH5337 us from the handH3027 of theseH428 mightyH117 godsH430? TheseH428 are the godsH430 who struckH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with allH3605 kinds of plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057. 94TakeH2388 courageH2388 and be menH376, PhilistinesH6430, orH6435 you will becomeH5647 slavesH5647 to the HebrewsH5680, 5as they have beenH5647 slavesH5647 to you; so be menH376 and fightH3898!”
10So the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 and 6IsraelH3478 was defeatedH5062, and 7everyH376 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 8the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, diedH4191.
