| 4:1 | 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} |
| 4:2 | 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} |
| 4:3 | 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} |
| 4:4 | 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>. |
| 4:5 | 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). |
| 4:6 | 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>. |
| 4:7 | 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} |
| 4:8 | 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>. |
| 4:9 | 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} |
| 4:10 | 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>. |
| 4:11 | 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} |
| 4:12 | 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>. |
| 4:13 | 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). |
| 4:14 | 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>. |
| 4:15 | 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} |
| 4:16 | 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} |
| 4:17 | 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). |
| 4:18 | 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>. |
| 4:19 | 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} |
| 4:20 | 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} |
| 4:21 | 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} |
| 4:22 | 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). |
