Chapter 4
And
the
word
of
Samuel
came
to
all
Israel.
Now
Israel
went
out
against
the
Philistines
to
battell,
and
pitched
beside
Eben-ezer:
and
the
Philistines
pitched
in
Aphek.
2
And
the
Philistines
put
themselues
in
aray
against
Israel:
and
when
they
ioyned
battell,
Israel
was
smitten
before
the
Philistines:
and
they
slew
of
the
armie
in
the
field,
about
foure
thousand
men.
3
And
when
the
people
were
come
into
the
campe,
the
Elders
of
Israel
said,
Wherefore
hath
the
Lord
smitten
vs
to
day
before
the
Philistines?
Let
vs
fetch
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord
out
of
Shiloh
vnto
vs,
that
when
it
commeth
among
vs,
it
may
saue
vs
out
of
the
hand
of
our
enemies.
4
So
the
people
sent
to
Shiloh,
that
they
might
bring
from
thence
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord
of
hostes,
which
dwelleth
betweene
the
Cherubims:
and
the
two
sonnes
of
Eli,
Hophni,
and
Phinehas
were
there,
with
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
God.
5
And
when
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord
came
into
the
campe,
all
Israel
shouted
with
a
great
shout,
so
that
the
earth
rang
againe.
6
And
when
the
Philistines
heard
the
noise
of
the
shout,
they
said,
What
meaneth
the
noise
of
this
great
shout
in
the
campe
of
the
Hebrewes?
And
they
vnderstood,
that
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
was
come
into
the
campe.
7
And
the
Philistines
were
afraid,
for
they
saide,
God
is
come
into
the
campe.
And
they
said,
Woe
vnto
vs:
for
there
hath
not
bene
such
a
thing
heretofore.
8
Woe
vnto
vs:
who
shall
deliuer
vs
out
of
the
hand
of
these
mightie
Gods?
these
are
the
Gods
that
smote
the
Egyptians
with
all
the
plagues
in
the
wildernesse.
9
Bee
strong,
and
quit
your
selues
like
men,
O
ye
Philistines,
that
yee
be
not
seruants
vnto
the
Hebrewes,
as
they
haue
bene
to
you:
quit
your
selues
like
men,
and
fight.
10
And
the
Philistines
fought,
and
Israel
was
smitten,
and
they
fled
euery
man
into
his
tent:
and
there
was
a
very
great
slaughter,
for
there
fell
of
Israel
thirtie
thousand
footmen.
11
And
the
Arke
of
God
was
taken,
and
the
two
sonnes
of
Eli,
Hophni,
and
Phinehas
were
slaine.
12
And
there
ran
a
man
of
Beniamin
out
of
the
army,
and
came
to
Shiloh
the
same
day
with
his
clothes
rent,
and
with
earth
vpon
his
head.
13
And
when
hee
came,
loe,
Eli
sate
vpon
a
seat
by
the
way
side,
watching:
for
his
heart
trembled
for
the
Arke
of
God.
And
when
the
man
came
into
the
citie,
and
told
it,
all
the
city
cried
out.
14
And
when
Eli
heard
the
noise
of
the
crying,
hee
said;
What
meaneth
the
noise
of
this
tumult?
And
the
man
came
in
hastily,
and
told
Eli.
15
Now
Eli
was
ninetie
and
eight
yeeres
old,
and
his
eyes
were
dimme,
that
he
could
not
see.
16
And
the
man
said
vnto
Eli,
I
am
he,
that
came
out
of
the
army,
and
I
fled
to
day
out
of
the
army.
And
he
said,
What
is
there
done,
my
sonne?
17
And
the
messenger
answered,
and
said,
Israel
is
fled
before
the
Philistines,
and
there
hath
bene
also
a
great
slaughter
among
the
people,
and
thy
two
sonnes
also,
Hophni
&
Phinehas,
are
dead,
and
the
Arke
of
God
is
taken.
18
And
it
came
to
passe
when
hee
made
mention
of
the
Arke
of
God,
that
he
fell
from
off
the
seat
backward
by
the
side
of
the
gate,
and
his
necke
brake,
and
hee
died:
for
hee
was
an
old
man,
and
heauie,
and
hee
had
iudged
Israel
fortie
yeeres.
19
And
his
daughter
in
law
Phinehas
wife
was
with
childe
neere
to
be
deliuered:
and
when
shee
heard
the
tidings
that
the
Arke
of
God
was
taken,
and
that
her
father
in
law,
and
her
husband
were
dead,
shee
bowed
her
selfe
and
traueyled;
for
her
paines
came
vpon
her.
20
And
about
the
time
of
her
death,
the
women
that
stood
by
her,
said
vnto
her:
Feare
not,
for
thou
hast
borne
a
sonne.
But
she
answered
not,
neither
did
she
regard
it.
21
And
she
named
the
childe
Ichabod,
saying,
The
glory
is
departed
from
Israel,
(because
the
Arke
of
God
was
taken,
and
because
of
her
father
in
law
and
her
husband.)
22
And
she
said,
The
glory
is
departed
from
Israel:
for
the
Arke
of
God
is
taken.
