1 Samuel 4:1-22

And the word
<01697>

of Samuel
<08050>

came to all Israel
<03478>_.

Now Israel
<03478>

went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Philistines
<06430>

to battle
<04421>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

beside Ebenezer
<072>_:

and the Philistines
<06430>

pitched
<02583> (8804)

in Aphek
<0663>_.

{came: or, came to pass}

And the Philistines
<06430>

put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

Israel
<03478>_:

and when they joined
<05203> (8799)

battle
<04421>_,

Israel
<03478>

was smitten
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_:

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

of the army
<04634>

in the field
<07704>

about four
<0702>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{they joined...: Heb. the battle was spread} {army: Heb. array}

And when the people
<05971>

were come
<0935> (8799)

into the camp
<04264>_,

the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>

smitten
<05062> (8804)

us to day
<03117>

before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_?

Let us fetch
<03947> (8799)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

out of Shiloh
<07887>

unto us, that, when it cometh
<0935> (8799)

among
<07130>

us, it may save
<03467> (8686)

us out of the hand
<03709>

of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{fetch: Heb. take unto us}

So the people
<05971>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Shiloh
<07887>_,

that they might bring
<05375> (8799)

from thence the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

which dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

[between] the cherubims
<03742>_:

and the two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

of Eli
<05941>_,

Hophni
<02652>

and Phinehas
<06372>_,

[were] there with the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of God
<0430>_.

And when the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<0935> (8800)

into the camp
<04264>_,

all Israel
<03478>

shouted
<07321> (8686)

with a great
<01419>

shout
<08643>_,

so that the earth
<0776>

rang again
<01949> (8735)_.

And when the Philistines
<06430>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the noise
<06963>

of the shout
<08643>_,

they said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [meaneth] the noise
<06963>

of this great
<01419>

shout
<08643>

in the camp
<04264>

of the Hebrews
<05680>_?

And they understood
<03045> (8799)

that the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

was come
<0935> (8804)

into the camp
<04264>_.

And the Philistines
<06430>

were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

God
<0430>

is come
<0935> (8804)

into the camp
<04264>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore
<0865> <08032>_.

{heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day}

Woe
<0188>

unto us! who shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

us out of the hand
<03027>

of these mighty
<0117>

Gods
<0430>_?

these [are] the Gods
<0430>

that smote
<05221> (8688)

the Egyptians
<04714>

with all the plagues
<04347>

in the wilderness
<04057>_.

Be strong
<02388> (8690)_,

and quit
<01961> (8798)

yourselves like men
<0582>_,

O ye Philistines
<06430>_,

that ye be not servants
<05647> (8799)

unto the Hebrews
<05680>_,

as they have been
<05647> (8804)

to you: quit
<01961> (8804)

yourselves like men
<0582>_,

and fight
<03898> (8738)_.

{quit...: Heb. be men}

And the Philistines
<06430>

fought
<03898> (8735)_,

and Israel
<03478>

was smitten
<05062> (8735)_,

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

every man
<0376>

into his tent
<0168>_:

and there was a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_;

for there fell
<05307> (8799)

of Israel
<03478>

thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>_.

And the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

was taken
<03947> (8738)_;

and the two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

of Eli
<05941>_,

Hophni
<02652>

and Phinehas
<06372>_,

were slain
<04191> (8804)_.

{were slain: Heb. died}

And there ran
<07323> (8799)

a man
<0376>

of Benjamin
<01144>

out of the army
<04634>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Shiloh
<07887>

the same day
<03117>

with his clothes
<04055>

rent
<07167> (8803)_,

and with earth
<0127>

upon his head
<07218>_.

And when he came
<0935> (8799)_,

lo, Eli
<05941>

sat
<03427> (8802)

upon a seat
<03678>

by the wayside
<01870> <03027> (8675) <03197>

watching
<06822> (8764)_:

for his heart
<03820>

trembled
<02730>

for the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_.

And when the man
<0376>

came
<0935> (8802)

into the city
<05892>_,

and told
<05046> (8687)

[it], all the city
<05892>

cried out
<02199> (8799)_.

And when Eli
<05941>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the noise
<06963>

of the crying
<06818>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [meaneth] the noise
<06963>

of this tumult
<01995>_?

And the man
<0376>

came
<0935> (8799)

in hastily
<04116> (8765)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

Eli
<05941>_.

Now Eli
<05941>

was ninety
<08673>

and eight
<08083>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_;

and his eyes
<05869>

were dim
<06965> (8804)_,

that he could
<03201> (8804)

not see
<07200> (8800)_.

{were dim: Heb. stood}

And the man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Eli
<05941>_,

I [am] he that came
<0935> (8802)

out of the army
<04634>_,

and I fled
<05127> (8804)

to day
<03117>

out of the army
<04634>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What is there done
<01697>_,

my son
<01121>_?

{is...: Heb. is the thing}

And the messenger
<01319> (8764)

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Israel
<03478>

is fled
<05127> (8804)

before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and there hath been also a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04046>

among the people
<05971>_,

and thy two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

also, Hophni
<02652>

and Phinehas
<06372>_,

are dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

is taken
<03947> (8738)_.

And it came to pass, when he made mention
<02142> (8687)

of the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

that he fell
<05307> (8799)

from off the seat
<03678>

backward
<0322>

by
<01157>

the side
<03027>

of the gate
<08179>_,

and his neck
<04665>

brake
<07665> (8735)_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_:

for he was an old
<02204> (8804)

man
<0376>_,

and heavy
<03513> (8804)_.

And he had judged
<08199> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_.

And his daughter in law
<03618>_,

Phinehas
<06372>_'

wife
<0802>_,

was with child
<02030>_,

[near] to be delivered
<03205> (8800)_:

and when she heard
<08085> (8799)

the tidings
<08052>

that
<0413>

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

was taken
<03947> (8736)_,

and that her father in law
<02524>

and her husband
<0376>

were dead
<04191> (8804)_,

she bowed
<03766> (8799)

herself and travailed
<03205> (8799)_;

for her pains
<06735>

came
<02015> (8738)

upon her. {be delivered: or, cry out} {came: Heb. were turned}

And about the time
<06256>

of her death
<04191> (8800)

the women that stood
<05324> (8737)

by her said
<01696> (8762)

unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not; for thou hast born
<03205> (8804)

a son
<01121>_.

But she answered
<06030> (8804)

not, neither did she regard
<07896> (8804) <03820>

[it]. {neither...: Heb. set not her heart}

And she named
<07121> (8799)

the child
<05288>

Ichabod
<0350>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The glory
<03519>

is departed
<01540> (8804)

from Israel
<03478>_:

because
<0413>

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

was taken
<03947> (8736)_,

and because of her father in law
<02524>

and her husband
<0376>_.

{Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory}

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

The glory
<03519>

is departed
<01540> (8804)

from Israel
<03478>_:

for the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

is taken
<03947> (8738)_.
