[1]And the wordH1697 of SamuelH8050 came to all IsraelH3478. Now IsraelH3478 went outH3318[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the PhilistinesH6430 to battleH4421, and pitchedH2583[H8799] beside EbenezerH72: and the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583[H8804] in AphekH663.
[2]And the PhilistinesH6430 put themselves in arrayH6186[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] IsraelH3478: and when they joinedH5203[H8799] battleH4421, IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062[H8735] beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430: and they slewH5221[H8686] of the armyH4634 in the fieldH7704 about fourH702 thousandH505 menH376.
[3]And when the peopleH5971 were comeH935[H8799] into the campH4264, the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799], Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 smittenH5062[H8804] us to dayH3117 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430? Let us fetchH3947[H8799] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of ShilohH7887 unto us, that, when it comethH935[H8799] amongH7130 us, it may saveH3467[H8686] us out of the handH3709 of our enemiesH341.[H8802]
[4]So the peopleH5971 sentH7971[H8799] to ShilohH7887, that they might bringH5375[H8799] from thence the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH3427[H8802] between the cherubimsH3742: and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were there with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
[5]And when the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935[H8800] into the campH4264, all IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321[H8686] with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 rang againH1949.[H8735]
[6]And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085[H8799] the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559[H8799], What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680? And they understoodH3045[H8799] that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was comeH935[H8804] into the campH4264.
[7]And the PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372[H8799], for they saidH559[H8804], GodH430 is comeH935[H8804] into the campH4264. And they saidH559[H8799], WoeH188 unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretoforeH865.[H8032]
[8]WoeH188 unto us! who shall deliverH5337[H8686] us out of the handH3027 of these mightyH117 GodsH430? these are the GodsH430 that smoteH5221[H8688] the EgyptiansH4714 with all the plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057.
[9]Be strongH2388[H8690], and quitH1961[H8798] yourselves like menH582, O ye PhilistinesH6430, that ye be not servantsH5647[H8799] unto the HebrewsH5680, as they have beenH5647[H8804] to you: quitH1961[H8804] yourselves like menH582, and fightH3898.[H8738]
[10]And the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898[H8735], and IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062[H8735], and they fledH5127[H8799] every manH376 into his tentH168: and there was a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347; for there fellH5307[H8799] of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footmenH7273.
[11]And the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947[H8738]; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were slainH4191.[H8804]
[12]And there ranH7323[H8799] a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 out of the armyH4634, and cameH935[H8799] to ShilohH7887 the same dayH3117 with his clothesH4055 rentH7167[H8803], and with earthH127 upon his headH7218.
[13]And when he cameH935[H8799], lo, EliH5941 satH3427[H8802] upon a seatH3678 by the waysideH1870[H3027][H8675][H3197] watchingH6822[H8764]: for his heartH3820 trembledH2730 for the arkH727 of GodH430. And when the manH376 cameH935[H8802] into the cityH5892, and toldH5046[H8687] it, all the cityH5892 cried outH2199.[H8799]
[14]And when EliH5941 heardH8085[H8799] the noiseH6963 of the cryingH6818, he saidH559[H8799], What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this tumultH1995? And the manH376 cameH935[H8799] in hastilyH4116[H8765], and toldH5046[H8686] EliH5941.
[15]Now EliH5941 was ninetyH8673 and eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121; and his eyesH5869 were dimH6965[H8804], that he couldH3201[H8804] not seeH7200.[H8800]
[16]And the manH376 saidH559[H8799] unto EliH5941, I am he that cameH935[H8802] out of the armyH4634, and I fledH5127[H8804] to dayH3117 out of the armyH4634. And he saidH559[H8799], What is there doneH1697, my sonH1121?
[17]And the messengerH1319[H8764] answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], IsraelH3478 is fledH5127[H8804] beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and there hath been also a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and thy twoH8147 sonsH1121 also, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191[H8804], and the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.[H8738]
[18]And it came to pass, when he made mentionH2142[H8687] of the arkH727 of GodH430, that he fellH5307[H8799] from off the seatH3678 backwardH322 byH1157 the sideH3027 of the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 brakeH7665[H8735], and he diedH4191[H8799]: for he was an oldH2204[H8804] manH376, and heavyH3513[H8804]. And he had judgedH8199[H8804] IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
[19]And his daughter in lawH3618, Phinehas'H6372 wifeH802, was with childH2030, near to be deliveredH3205[H8800]: and when she heardH8085[H8799] the tidingsH8052 thatH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947[H8736], and that her father in lawH2524 and her husbandH376 were deadH4191[H8804], she bowedH3766[H8799] herself and travailedH3205[H8799]; for her painsH6735 cameH2015 upon herH8738.
[20]And about the timeH6256 of her deathH4191[H8800] the women that stoodH5324[H8737] by her saidH1696[H8762] unto her, FearH3372[H8799] not; for thou hast bornH3205[H8804] a sonH1121. But she answeredH6030[H8804] not, neither did she regardH7896[H8804] itH3820.
[21]And she namedH7121[H8799] the childH5288 IchabodH350, sayingH559[H8800], The gloryH3519 is departedH1540[H8804] from IsraelH3478: becauseH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947[H8736], and because of her father in lawH2524 and her husbandH376.
[22]And she saidH559[H8799], The gloryH3519 is departedH1540[H8804] from IsraelH3478: for the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.[H8738]
