1 Samuel 4:12-18 And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes are rent, and earth on his head;"

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] rent, and earth on his head;" ¹³ and he comes in, and lo, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the ark of Elohim, and the man has come in to declare [it] in the city, and all the city cries out. ¹⁴ And Eli hears the noise of the cry, and said, `What--the noise of this tumult!' And the man hasted, and comes in, and declares to Eli. ¹⁵ And Eli is a son of ninety and eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see. ¹⁶ And the man said unto Eli, `I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he said, `What has been the matter, my son?. ¹⁷ And he who is bearing tidings answers and said, `Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died--Hophni and Phinehas--and the ark of Elohim has been captured.. ¹⁸ And it comes to pass, at his mentioning the ark of Elohim, that he falls from off the throne backward, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel forty years.
