1Samuel 4
4And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.H1697H8050H3478H3478H3318H7125H6430H4421H2583H72H6430H2583H6632And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.H6430H6186H7125H3478H5203H4421H3478H5062H6440H6430H5221H4634H7704H702H505H3763And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.H5971H935H4264H2205H3478H559H3068H5062H3117H6440H6430H3947H727H1285H3068H7887H935H7130H3467H3709H3414So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.H5971H7971H7887H5375H727H1285H3068H6635H3427H3742H8147H1121H5941H2652H6372H727H1285H4305And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.H727H1285H3068H935H4264H3478H7321H1419H8643H776H19496And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.H6430H8085H6963H8643H559H6963H1419H8643H4264H5680H3045H727H3068H935H42647And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.H6430H3372H559H430H935H4264H559H188H865H80328Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.H188H5337H3027H117H430H430H5221H4714H4347H40579Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.H2388H1961H582H6430H5647H5680H5647H1961H582H389810And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.H6430H3898H3478H5062H5127H376H168H3966H1419H4347H5307H3478H7970H505H727311And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.H727H430H3947H8147H1121H5941H2652H6372H419112And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.H7323H376H1144H4634H935H7887H3117H4055H7167H127H721813And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.H935H5941H3427H3678H1870H3027H3197H6822H3820H2730H727H430H376H935H5892H5046H5892H219914And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.H5941H8085H6963H6818H559H6963H1995H376H935H4116H5046H594115Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.H5941H8673H8083H8141H1121H5869H6965H3201H720016And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?H376H559H5941H935H4634H5127H3117H4634H559H1697H112117And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.H1319H6030H559H3478H5127H6440H6430H1419H4046H5971H8147H1121H2652H6372H4191H727H430H394718And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.H2142H727H430H5307H3678H322H1157H3027H8179H4665H7665H4191H2204H376H3513H8199H3478H705H814119And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.H3618H6372H802H2030H3205H8085H8052H413H727H430H3947H2524H376H4191H3766H3205H6735H201520And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.H6256H4191H5324H1696H3372H3205H1121H6030H7896H382021And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.H7121H5288H350H559H3519H1540H3478H413H727H430H3947H2524H37622And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.H559H3519H1540H3478H727H430H3947
