2: And put themselves in battle arrayH6186 the PhilistinesH6430 againstH7122 Israel.H3478 And when they joinedH5203 battle,H4421 and was defeatedH5062 IsraelH3478 byH6440 the Philistines-H6430 and who killedH5221 of the armyH4634 in the fieldH7704 about fourH0702 thousandH0505 men.H0376

3: And when had comeH0935 the peopleH5971 intoH0413 the camp,H4264 and said,H0559 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 whyH4100 has defeated usH5062 YahwehH3068 todayH3117 beforeH6440 the Philistines?H6430 let us bringH3947 to usH0413 from ShilohH7887 -H0853 the arkH0727 of the covenant ofH1285 YahwehH3068 that when it comesH0935 among usH7130 and it may save usH3467 from the handH3709 of our enemies.H0341

4: So sentH7971 the peopleH5971 to Shiloh,H7887 that they might bringH5375 from thereH8033 -H0853 the arkH0727 of the covenant ofH1285 YahwehH3069 of hosts,H6635 who dwellsH3427 [between] the cherubim-H3742 and [were] thereH8033 twoH8147 the sonsH1121 of Eli,H5941 withH5973 the arkH0727 of the covenantH1285 of God.H0430 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372

5: andH1961 when cameH0935 the arkH0727 of the covenantH1285 of YahwehH3068 intoH0413 the camp,H4264 and shoutedH7321 allH3605 IsraelH3478 loudly,H8643 with a greatH1419 so that shookH1949 the earth.H0776

6: And when heardH8085 the PhilistinesH6430 -H0853 the noiseH6963 of the shout,H8643 and they said,H0559 what [does mean]H4100 the soundH6963 of shoutH8643 greatH1419 thisH2063 in the campH4264 of the Hebrews?H5680 and they understoodH3045 thatH3588 the arkH0727 of YahwehH3068 had comeH0935 intoH0413 the camp.H4264

7: So were afraid,H3372 the PhilistinesH6430 forH3588 they said,H0559 has comeH0935 GodH0430 intoH0413 the camp.H4264 And they said,H0559 WoeH0188 forH3588 has never happenedH3808 beenH1961 such as thisH2063 beforeH0865 now.H8032

8: WoeH0188 whoH4310 will deliver us ofH5337 from the handH3027 gods?H0430 mightyH0117 theseH0428 theseH0428 areH1992 the godsH0430 who struckH5221 -H0853 EgyptH4714 with allH3605 the plaguesH4347 in the wilderness.H4057

9: Be strong,H2388 and conduct yourselvesH1961 like men,H0376 you Philistines,H6430 thatH6435 you do not become servantsH5647 of the Hebrews,H5680 asH0834 they have beenH5647 Conduct yourselvesH1961 like men,H0376 and fight.H3898

10: So fought,H3898 the PhilistinesH6430 and was defeated,H5062 IsraelH3478 and fledH5127 every manH0376 to his tent-H0168 and there wasH1961 a slaughter-H4347 greatH1419 veryH3966 and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH0505 foot soldiers.H7273

11: And the arkH0727 of GodH0430 was captured-H3947 and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of Eli,H5941 died.H4191 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372

12: and ranH7323 a manH0376 of BenjaminH1144 from the battle line,H4634 and cameH0935 to ShilohH7887 dayH3117 thatH1931 and with his clothesH4055 torn,H7167 and dirtH0127 onH5921 his head.H7218

13: And when he came,H0935 and there was,H2009 EliH5941 sittingH3427 onH5921 a seatH3678 beatH5221 by the waysideH1870 watching,H6822 forH3588 becomeH1961 his heartH3820 trembledH2730 forH5921 the arkH0727 of God.H0430 And when the manH0376 cameH0935 and told [it]H5046 into the city,H5892 and cried outH2199 allH3605 the city.H5892

14: And when heardH8085 EliH5941 -H0853 the noiseH6963 of the outcry,H6818 and he said,H0559 what [does mean]H4100 the soundH6963 of tumult?H1995 thisH2088 and the manH0376 quickly,H4116 and cameH0935 and toldH5046 Eli.H5941

15: And EliH5941 was old-H1121 ninetyH8673 and eightH8083 yearsH8141 and his gazeH5869 was fixed,H6965 that notH3808 he couldH3201 see.H7200

16: And saidH0559 the manH0376 toH0413 Eli,H5941 I [am]H0595 he who cameH0935 fromH4480 the battle,H4634 and IH0589 fromH4480 the battle line.H4634 FledH5127 todayH3117 and he said,H0559 whatH4100 happenedH1961 there done,H1697 my son?H1121

17: so answeredH6030 the messengerH1319 and said,H0559 has fledH5127 IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the Philistines,H6430 andH1571 a slaughterH4046 greatH1419 there has beenH1961 among the people,H5971 and,H1571 twoH8147 your sonsH1121 are dead,H4191 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372 and the arkH0727 of GodH0430 has been captured.H3947

18: And it came to pass,H1961 when he made mentionH2142 ofH0853 the arkH0727 of God,H0430 that Eli fellH5307 offH5921 the seatH3678 backwardH0322 byH1157 the sideH3027 of the gate,H8179 and was broken,H7665 his neckH4665 and he died,H4191 forH3588 was oldH2204 the man,H0376 and heavy.H3515 And heH1931 had judgedH8199 -H0853 IsraelH3478 fortyH0705 years.H8141

19: Now his daughter-in-law,H3618 wife,H0802 Phinehas'H6372 was pregnant,H2030 [due] to be delivered-H3205 and when she heardH8085 -H0853 the newsH8052 thatH0413 was captured,H3947 the arkH0727 of GodH0430 that were dead,H4191 her father-in-lawH2524 and her husbandH0376 and she bowed herselfH3766 and gave birth-H3205 forH3588 cameH2015 upon herH5921 her labor pains.H6735

20: And about the timeH6256 of her deathH4191 and saidH1696 the women who stood by herH5324 to herH5921 not-H0408 do fearH3372 forH3588 a son.H1121 You have borneH3205 but not,H3808 she did answerH6030 norH3808 did she regard [it]H7896 attention.H3820

21: And she namedH7121 the childH5288 Ichabod,H0350 saying,H0559 has departedH1540 the gloryH3519 from IsraelH3478 becauseH0413 had been captured,H3947 the arkH0727 of GodH0430 and becauseH0413 of her father-in-lawH2524 and her husband.H0376

22: And she said,H0559 has departedH1540 the gloryH3519 from IsraelH3478 forH3588 has been captured.H3947 The arkH0727 of God.H0430
