1 Samuel 4:17-18
Context4:17 The messenger replied, “Israel has fled from 1 the Philistines! The army has suffered a great defeat! Your two sons, Hophni and Phineas, are dead! The ark of God has been captured!”
4:18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli 2 fell backward from his chair beside the gate. He broke his neck and died, for he 3 was old and heavy. He had judged Israel for forty years.
