Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

1 Samuel 4

1 The Israelites are overcome by the Philistines at Eben-ezer. 3 They fetch the Ark to the terror of the Philistines. 10 They are smitten again, the Ark taken, Hophni and Phinehas are slain. 12 Eli, at the news, falling backward, breaketh his neck. 19 Phinehas' wife, discouraged in her travail with Ichabod, dieth.

 4:1 ¶ And the word 1697 of Samuel 8050 came x1961 to all x3605 Israel. 3478 Now Israel 3478 went out 3318 z8799 against 7125 z8800 the Philistines 6430 to battle, 4421 and pitched 2583 z8799 beside x5921 Ebenezer: 72 and the Philistines 6430 pitched 2583 z8804 in Aphek. 663

 4:2 And the Philistines 6430 put themselves in array 6186 z8799 against 7125 z8800 Israel: 3478 and when they joined 5203 z8799 battle, 4421 Israel 3478 was smitten 5062 z8735 before 6440 the Philistines: 6430 and they slew 5221 z8686 of the army 4634 in the field 7704 about four 702 thousand 505 men. 376

 4:3 ¶ And when the people 5971 were come 935 z8799 into x413 the camp, 4264 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 said, 559 z8799 Wherefore x4100 hath Yahweh 3068 smitten 5062 z8804 us to day 3117 before 6440 the Philistines? 6430 Let us fetch 3947 z8799 x853 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of Yahweh 3068 out of Shiloh 7887 x4480 unto x413 us, that, when it cometh 935 z8799 among 7130 us, it may save 3467 z8686 us out of the hand 3709 x4480 of our enemies. 341 z8802

 4:4 So the people 5971 sent 7971 z8799 to Shiloh, 7887 that they might bring 5375 z8799 from thence x4480 x8033 x853 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of Yahweh 3068 Sabaoth, 6635 which dwelleth 3427 z8802 [between] the cherubims: 3742 and the two 8147 sons 1121 of Eli, 5941 Hophni 2652 and Phinehas, 6372 [were] there x8033 with x5973 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of Elohim. 430

 4:5 And when the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of Yahweh 3068 came 935 z8800 into x413 the camp, 4264 all x3605 Israel 3478 shouted 7321 z8686 with a great 1419 shout, 8643 so that the earth 776 rang x1949 again. y1949 z8735

 4:6 And when the Philistines 6430 heard 8085 z8799 x853 the noise 6963 of the shout, 8643 they said, 559 z8799 What x4100 [meaneth] the noise 6963 of this x2063 great 1419 shout 8643 in the camp 4264 of the Hebrews? 5680 And they understood 3045 z8799 that x3588 the ark 727 of Yahweh 3068 was come 935 z8804 into x413 the camp. 4264

 4:7 And the Philistines 6430 were afraid, 3372 z8799 for x3588 they said, 559 z8804 Elohim 430 is come 935 z8804 into x413 the camp. 4264 And they said, 559 z8799 Woe 188 unto us! for x3588 there hath not x3808 been x1961 such a thing x2063 heretofore. 865 8032

 4:8 Woe 188 unto us! who x4310 shall deliver 5337 z8686 us out of the hand 3027 x4480 of these x428 mighty 117 Elohim? 430 these x428 [are] the Elohim 430 that smote 5221 z8688 x853 the Egyptians 4714 with all x3605 the plagues 4347 in the wilderness. 4057

 4:9 Be strong, 2388 z8690 and quit 1961 z8798 yourselves like men, y582 x376 O ye Philistines, 6430 that ye be not servants 5647 z8799 x3645 unto the Hebrews, 5680 as x834 they have been 5647 z8804 to you: quit 1961 z8804 yourselves like men, y582 x376 and fight. 3898 z8738

 4:10 ¶ And the Philistines 6430 fought, 3898 z8735 and Israel 3478 was smitten, 5062 z8735 and they fled 5127 z8799 every man 376 into his tent: 168 and there was x1961 a very 3966 great 1419 slaughter; 4347 for there fell 5307 z8799 of Israel 3478 x4480 thirty 7970 thousand 505 footmen. 7273

 4:11 And the ark 727 of Elohim 430 was taken; 3947 z8738 and the two 8147 sons 1121 of Eli, 5941 Hophni 2652 and Phinehas, 6372 were slain. 4191 z8804

 4:12 ¶ And there ran 7323 z8799 a man 376 of Benjamin 1144 out of the army, 4634 x4480 and came 935 z8799 to Shiloh 7887 the same x1931 day 3117 with his clothes 4055 rent, 7167 z8803 and with earth 127 upon x5921 his head. 7218

 4:13 And when he came, 935 z8799 lo, x2009 Eli 5941 sat 3427 z8802 upon x5921 a seat 3678 by the wayside 1870 3197 y3027 z8675 watching: 6822 z8764 for x3588 his heart 3820 trembled 2730 for x5921 the ark 727 of Elohim. 430 And when the man 376 came 935 z8802 into the city, 5892 and told 5046 z8687 [it], all x3605 the city 5892 cried out. 2199 z8799

 4:14 And when Eli 5941 heard 8085 z8799 x853 the noise 6963 of the crying, 6818 he said, 559 z8799 What x4100 [meaneth] the noise 6963 of this x2088 tumult? 1995 And the man 376 came 935 z8799 in hastily, 4116 z8765 and told 5046 z8686 Eli. 5941

 4:15 Now Eli 5941 was ninety y8673 x8375 and eight 8083 years 8141 old; 1121 and his eyes 5869 were dim, 6965 z8804 that he could 3201 z8804 not x3808 see. 7200 z8800

 4:16 And the man 376 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Eli, 5941 I x595 [am] he that came 935 z8802 out of x4480 the army, 4634 and I x589 fled 5127 z8804 to day 3117 out of x4480 the army. 4634 And he said, 559 z8799 What x4100 is x1961 there done, 1697 my son? 1121

 4:17 And the messenger 1319 z8764 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 Israel 3478 is fled 5127 z8804 before 6440 the Philistines, 6430 and there hath been x1961 also x1571 a great 1419 slaughter 4046 among the people, 5971 and thy two 8147 sons 1121 also, x1571 Hophni 2652 and Phinehas, 6372 are dead, 4191 z8804 and the ark 727 of Elohim 430 is taken. 3947 z8738

 4:18 And it came to pass, x1961 when he made mention 2142 z8687 of x853 the ark 727 of Elohim, 430 that he fell 5307 z8799 from off x4480 x5921 the seat 3678 backward 322 by 1157 the side 3027 of the gate, 8179 and his neck 4665 brake, 7665 z8735 and he died: 4191 z8799 for x3588 he was an old 2204 z8804 man, 376 and heavy. y3513 z8804 x3515 And he x1931 had judged 8199 z8804 x853 Israel 3478 forty 705 years. 8141

 4:19 ¶ And his daughter in law, 3618 Phinehas' 6372 wife, 802 was with child, 2030 [near] to be delivered: 3205 z8800 and when she heard 8085 z8799 x853 the tidings 8052 that y413 the ark 727 of Elohim 430 was taken, 3947 z8736 and that her father in law 2524 and her husband 376 were dead, 4191 z8804 she bowed y3766 z8799 herself x3766 and travailed; 3205 z8799 for x3588 her pains 6735 came 2015 z8738 upon x5921 her.

 4:20 And about the time 6256 of her death 4191 z8800 the women that stood 5324 z8737 by her said 1696 z8762 unto x5921 her, Fear 3372 z8799 not; x408 for x3588 thou hast born 3205 z8804 a son. 1121 But she answered 6030 z8804 not, x3808 neither x3808 did she regard 7896 3820 z8804 [it].

 4:21 And she named 7121 z8799 the child 5288 Ichabod, 350 saying, 559 z8800 The glory 3519 is departed 1540 z8804 from Israel: 3478 x4480 because 413 the ark 727 of Elohim 430 was taken, 3947 z8736 and because x413 of her father in law 2524 and her husband. 376

 4:22 And she said, 559 z8799 The glory 3519 is departed 1540 z8804 from Israel: 3478 x4480 for x3588 the ark 727 of Elohim 430 is taken. 3947 z8738
