1 Samuel 4:14-18
14And when EliH5941 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the cryingH6818, he saidH559, What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this tumultH1995? And the manH376 cameH935 in hastilyH4116, and toldH5046 EliH5941.
15Now EliH5941 was ninetyH8673 and eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121; and his eyesH5869 were dimH6965, that he couldH3201 not seeH7200.1
16And the manH376 saidH559 unto EliH5941, I am he that cameH935 out of the armyH4634, and I fledH5127 to dayH3117 out of the armyH4634. And he saidH559, What is there doneH1697, my sonH1121?2
17And the messengerH1319 answeredH6030 and saidH559, IsraelH3478 is fledH5127 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and there hath been also a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and thy twoH8147 sonsH1121 also, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191, and the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.
18And it came to pass, when he made mentionH2142 of the arkH727 of GodH430, that he fellH5307 from off the seatH3678 backwardH322 byH1157 the sideH3027 of the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 brakeH7665, and he diedH4191: for he was an oldH2204 manH376, and heavyH3513. And he had judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
