H1697
And the word
H8050
of Samuel
H3478
came to all Israel.
H3478
Now Israel
H3318 [H8799]
went out
H7125 [H8800]
against
H6430
the Philistines
H4421
to battle,
H2583 [H8799]
and encamped
H72
beside Ebenezer:
H6430
and the Philistines
H2583 [H8804]
encamped
H663
in Aphek.
2
H6430
And the Philistines
H6186 [H8799]
put themselves in array
H7125 [H8800]
against
H3478
Israel:
H5203 [H8799]
and when they joined
H4421
battle,
H3478
Israel
H5062 [H8735]
was smitten
H6440
at the face of
H6430
the Philistines:
H5221 [H8686]
and they slew
H4634
of the army
H7704
in the field
H702
about four
H505
thousand
H376
men.
3
H5971
And when the people
H935 [H8799]
had come
H4264
into the camp,
H2205
the elders
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3068
Why hath the LORD
H5062 [H8804]
smitten
H3117
us to day
H6440
at the face of
H6430
the Philistines?
H3947 [H8799]
Let us bring
H727
the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of the LORD
H7887
out of Shiloh
H935 [H8799]
to us, that, when it cometh
H7130
among
H3467 [H8686]
us, it may liberate
H3709
us from the palm
H341 [H8802]
of our enemies.
4
H5971
So the people
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H7887
to Shiloh,
H5375 [H8799]
that they might bring
H727
from there the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of the LORD
H6635
of hosts,
H3427 [H8802]
who dwelleth
H3742
between the cherubim:
H8147
and the two
H1121
sons
H5941
of Eli,
H2652
Hophni
H6372
and Phinehas,
H727
were there with the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H430
of God.
5
H727
And when the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of the LORD
H935 [H8800]
came
H4264
into the camp,
H3478
all Israel
H7321 [H8686]
shouted
H1419
with a great
H8643
shout,
H776
so that the earth
H1949 [H8735]
uproared.
6
H6430
And when the Philistines
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H6963
the noise
H8643
of the shout,
H559 [H8799]
they said,
H6963
What meaneth the noise
H1419
of this great
H8643
shout
H4264
in the camp
H5680
of the Hebrews?
H3045 [H8799]
And they understood
H727
that the ark
H3068
of the LORD
H935 [H8804]
had come
H4264
into the camp.
7
H6430
And the Philistines
H3372 [H8799]
were afraid,
H559 [H8804]
for they said,
H430
God
H935 [H8804]
hath come
H4264
into the camp.
H559 [H8799]
And they said,
H188
Woe
H865 H8032
to us! for there hath not been such a thing before.
8
H188
Woe
H5337 [H8686]
to us! who shall deliver
H3027
us out of the hand
H117
of these mighty
H430
Gods?
H430
these are the Gods
H5221 [H8688]
that smote
H4714
the Egyptians
H4347
with all the plagues
H4057
in the wilderness.
9
H2388 [H8690]
Be strong,
H1961 [H8798]
and acquit
H582
yourselves like men,
H6430
O ye Philistines,
H5647 [H8799]
that ye may not be servants
H5680
to the Hebrews,
H5647 [H8804]
as they have been
H1961 [H8804]
to you: acquit
H582
yourselves like men,
H3898 [H8738]
and fight.
10
H6430
And the Philistines
H3898 [H8735]
fought,
H3478
and Israel
H5062 [H8735]
was smitten,
H5127 [H8799]
and they fled
H376
every man
H168
into his tent:
H3966
and there was a very
H1419
great
H4347
slaughter;
H5307 [H8799]
for there fell
H3478
of Israel
H7970
thirty
H505
thousand
H7273
footmen.
11
H727
And the ark
H430
of God
H3947 [H8738]
was taken;
H8147
and the two
H1121
sons
H5941
of Eli,
H2652
Hophni
H6372
and Phinehas,
H4191 [H8804]
were slain.
12
H7323 [H8799]
And there ran
H376
a man
H1144
of Benjamin
H4634
out of the army,
H935 [H8799]
and came
H7887
to Shiloh
H3117
the same day
H4055
with his clothes
H7167 [H8803]
torn,
H127
and with soil
H7218
upon his head.
13
H935 [H8799]
And when he came,
H5941
lo, Eli
H3427 [H8802]
sat
H3678
upon a seat
H1870 H3027 H3197 [H8675]
by the way side
H6822 [H8764]
watching:
H3820
for his heart
H2730
trembled
H727
for the ark
H430
of God.
H376
And when the man
H935 [H8802]
came
H5892
into the city,
H5046 [H8687]
and told
H5892
it, all the city
H2199 [H8799]
cried out.
14
H5941
And when Eli
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H6963
the noise
H6818
of the shrieking,
H559 [H8799]
he said,
H6963
What meaneth the noise
H1995
of this tumult?
H376
And the man
H935 [H8799]
came
H4116 [H8765]
in hastily,
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H5941
Eli.
15
H5941
Now Eli
H8673
was ninety
H8083
and eight
H8141
years
H1121
old;
H5869
and his eyes
H6965 [H8804]
were raised,
H3201 [H8804]
that he could
H7200 [H8800]
not see.
16
H376
And the man
H559 [H8799]
said
H5941
to Eli,
H935 [H8802]
I am he that came
H4634
out of the army,
H5127 [H8804]
and I fled
H3117
to day
H4634
out of the army.
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H1697
What is there done,
H1121
my son?
17
H1319 [H8764]
And the messenger
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H3478
Israel
H5127 [H8804]
hath fled
H6440
at the face of
H6430
the Philistines,
H1419
and there hath been also a great
H4046
slaughter
H5971
among the people,
H8147
and thy two
H1121
sons
H2652
also, Hophni
H6372
and Phinehas,
H4191 [H8804]
are dead,
H727
and the ark
H430
of God
H3947 [H8738]
is taken.
18
H2142 [H8687]
And it came to pass, when he made mention
H727
of the ark
H430
of God,
H5307 [H8799]
that he fell
H3678
from off the seat
H322
backward
H1157
by
H3027
the side
H8179
of the gate,
H4665
and his neck
H7665 [H8735]
broke,
H4191 [H8799]
and he died:
H2204 [H8804]
for he was an old
H376
man,
H3513 [H8804]
and heavy.
H8199 [H8804]
And he had judged
H3478
Israel
H705
forty
H8141
years.
19
H3618
And his daughter in law,
H802
the wife
H6372
of Phinehas,
H2030
was with child,
H3205 [H8800]
near to be delivered:
H8085 [H8799]
and when she heard
H8052
the tidings
H413
that
H727
the ark
H430
of God
H3947 [H8736]
was taken,
H2524
and that her father in law
H376
and her husband
H4191 [H8804]
were dead,
H3766 [H8799]
she bowed
H3205 [H8799]
herself and travailed;
H6735
for her pains
H2015 [H8738]
came upon her.
20
H9002
And
H9004
about
H6256
the time
H9034
of her
H4191 [H8800]
death
H9001
H9009
the
H5324 [H8737]
women that stood
H5921
by
H9034
her
H1696 [H8762]
said
H3372 [H8799]
to her, Fear
H408
not;
H3588
for
H3205 [H8804]
thou hast borne
H1121
a son.
H9002
But
H6030 [H8804]
she answered
H3808
not,
H9002
and
H7896 [H8804]
set
H3808
not
H9024
her
H3820
heart to it.
