1 Samuel 4

KJV

1  And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ came¹⁹⁶¹ to all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ Now Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ and pitched²⁵⁸³ beside⁵⁹²¹ Ebenezer:⁷² and the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ pitched²⁵⁸³ in Aphek.⁶⁶³

2  And the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ put themselves in array⁶¹⁸⁶ against⁷¹²⁵ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and when they joined⁵²⁰³ battle,⁴⁴²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was smitten⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Philistines:⁶⁴³⁰ and they slew⁵²²¹ of the army⁴⁶³⁴ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ about four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶

3  And when the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smitten⁵⁰⁶² us today³¹¹⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Philistines?⁶⁴³⁰ Let us fetch^{3947 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ out of Shiloh^{4480 7887} unto⁴¹³ us, that, when it cometh⁹³⁵ among⁷¹³⁰ us, it may save³⁴⁶⁷ us out of the hand^{4480 3709} of our enemies.³⁴¹

4  So the people⁵⁹⁷¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Shiloh,⁷⁸⁸⁷ that they might bring⁵³⁷⁵ from thence^{4480 8033 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ which dwelleth³⁴²⁷ between the cherubims:³⁷⁴² and the two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons¹¹²¹ of Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ Hophni²⁶⁵² and Phinehas,⁶³⁷² were there⁸⁰³³ with⁵⁹⁷³ the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of God.⁴³⁰

5  And when the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shouted⁷³²¹ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ shout,⁸⁶⁴³ so that the earth⁷⁷⁶ rang¹⁹⁴⁹ again.

6  And when the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ heard^{8085 853} the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the shout,⁸⁶⁴³ they said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ meaneth the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of this²⁰⁶³ great¹⁴¹⁹ shout⁸⁶⁴³ in the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the Hebrews?⁵⁶⁸⁰ And they understood³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the camp.⁴²⁶⁴

7  And the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ were afraid,³³⁷² for³⁵⁸⁸ they said,⁵⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ is come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the camp.⁴²⁶⁴ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Woe¹⁸⁸ unto us! for³⁵⁸⁸ there hath not³⁸⁰⁸ been¹⁹⁶¹ such a thing²⁰⁶³ heretofore.^{865 8032}

8  Woe¹⁸⁸ unto us! who⁴³¹⁰ shall deliver⁵³³⁷ us out of the hand^{4480 3027} of these⁴²⁸ mighty¹¹⁷ Gods?⁴³⁰ these⁴²⁸ are the Gods⁴³⁰ that smote^{5221 853} the Egyptians⁴⁷¹⁴ with all³⁶⁰⁵ the plagues⁴³⁴⁷ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

9  Be strong,²³⁸⁸ and quit¹⁹⁶¹ yourselves like men,³⁷⁶ O ye Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ that ye be not servants^{3645 5647} unto the Hebrews,⁵⁶⁸⁰ as⁸³⁴ they have been⁵⁶⁴⁷ to you: quit¹⁹⁶¹ yourselves like men,³⁷⁶ and fight.³⁸⁹⁸

10  And the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ fought,³⁸⁹⁸ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was smitten,⁵⁰⁶² and they fled⁵¹²⁷ every man³⁷⁶ into his tent:¹⁶⁸ and there was¹⁹⁶¹ a very³⁹⁶⁶ great¹⁴¹⁹ slaughter;⁴³⁴⁷ for there fell⁵³⁰⁷ of Israel^{4480 3478} thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ footmen.⁷²⁷³

11  And the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ was taken;³⁹⁴⁷ and the two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons¹¹²¹ of Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ Hophni²⁶⁵² and Phinehas,⁶³⁷² were slain.⁴¹⁹¹

12  And there ran⁷³²³ a man³⁷⁶ of Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ out of the army,^{4480 4634} and came⁹³⁵ to Shiloh⁷⁸⁸⁷ the same¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ with his clothes⁴⁰⁵⁵ rent,⁷¹⁶⁷ and with earth¹²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ his head.⁷²¹⁸

13  And when he came,⁹³⁵ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ sat³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ a seat³⁶⁷⁸ by the wayside^{3197 1870} watching:⁶⁸²² for³⁵⁸⁸ his heart³⁸²⁰ trembled²⁷³⁰ for⁵⁹²¹ the ark⁷²⁷ of God.⁴³⁰ And when the man³⁷⁶ came⁹³⁵ into the city,⁵⁸⁹² and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ it, all³⁶⁰⁵ the city⁵⁸⁹² cried out.²¹⁹⁹

14  And when Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ heard^{8085 853} the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the crying,⁶⁸¹⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ meaneth the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of this²⁰⁸⁸ tumult?¹⁹⁹⁵ And the man³⁷⁶ came⁹³⁵ in hastily,⁴¹¹⁶ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Eli.⁵⁹⁴¹

15  Now Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ was ninety⁸³⁷⁵ and eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ old;¹¹²¹ and his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ were dim,⁶⁹⁶⁵ that he could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ see.⁷²⁰⁰

16  And the man³⁷⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ I⁵⁹⁵ am he that came⁹³⁵ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the army,⁴⁶³⁴ and I⁵⁸⁹ fled⁵¹²⁷ today³¹¹⁷ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the army.⁴⁶³⁴ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ is¹⁹⁶¹ there done,¹⁶⁹⁷ my son?¹¹²¹

17  And the messenger¹³¹⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ is fled⁵¹²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and there hath been¹⁹⁶¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ a great¹⁴¹⁹ slaughter⁴⁰⁴⁶ among the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thy two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons¹¹²¹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ Hophni²⁶⁵² and Phinehas,⁶³⁷² are dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ is taken.³⁹⁴⁷

18  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when he made mention²¹⁴² of ⁸⁵³ the ark⁷²⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ that he fell⁵³⁰⁷ from off^{4480 5921} the seat³⁶⁷⁸ backward³²² by¹¹⁵⁷ the side³⁰²⁷ of the gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and his neck⁴⁶⁶⁵ broke,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and he died:⁴¹⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he was an old²²⁰⁴ man,³⁷⁶ and heavy.³⁵¹⁵ And he¹⁹³¹ had judged^{8199 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

19  And his daughter-in-law,³⁶¹⁸ Phinehas'⁶³⁷² wife,⁸⁰² was with child,²⁰³⁰ near to be delivered:³²⁰⁵ and when she heard^{8085 853} the tidings⁸⁰⁵² that the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ was taken,³⁹⁴⁷ and that her father-in-law²⁵²⁴ and her husband³⁷⁶ were dead,⁴¹⁹¹ she bowed herself³⁷⁶⁶ and travailed;³²⁰⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ her pains⁶⁷³⁵ came²⁰¹⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ her.

20  And about the time⁶²⁵⁶ of her death⁴¹⁹¹ the women that stood⁵³²⁴ by her said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ her, Fear³³⁷² not;⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast born³²⁰⁵ a son.¹¹²¹ But she answered⁶⁰³⁰ not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ did she regard^{7896 3820} it.

21  And she named⁷¹²¹ the child⁵²⁸⁸ Ichabod,³⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The glory³⁵¹⁹ is departed¹⁵⁴⁰ from Israel:^{4480 3478} because⁴¹³ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ was taken,³⁹⁴⁷ and because⁴¹³ of her father-in-law²⁵²⁴ and her husband.³⁷⁶

22  And she said,⁵⁵⁹ The glory³⁵¹⁹ is departed¹⁵⁴⁰ from Israel:^{4480 3478} for³⁵⁸⁸ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ is taken.³⁹⁴⁷

1 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ συναθροίζονται ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ισραηλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐπὶ Αβενεζερ καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν Αφεκ

2 καὶ παρατάσσονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἔκλινεν ὁ πόλεμος καὶ ἔπταισεν ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐπλήγησαν ἐν τῇ παρατάξει ἐν ἀγρῷ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν

3 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ισραηλ κατὰ τί ἔπταισεν ἡμᾶς κύριος σήμερον ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων λάβωμεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐκ Σηλωμ καὶ ἐξελθέτω ἐν μέσῳ ἡμῶν καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν

4 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς Σηλωμ καὶ αἴρουσιν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν κυρίου καθημένου χερουβιμ καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοὶ Ηλι μετὰ τῆς κιβωτοῦ Οφνι καὶ Φινεες

5 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἦλθεν κιβωτὸς κυρίου εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν καὶ ἀνέκραξεν πᾶς Ισραηλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἤχησεν ἡ γῆ

6 καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῆς κραυγῆς καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τίς ἡ κραυγὴ ἡ μεγάλη αὕτη ἐν παρεμβολῇ τῶν Εβραίων καὶ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι κιβωτὸς κυρίου ἥκει εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν

7 καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ εἶπον οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ ἥκασιν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν οὐαὶ ἡμῖν ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς κύριε σήμερον ὅτι οὐ γέγονεν τοιαύτη ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην

8 οὐαὶ ἡμῖν τίς ἐξελεῖται ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν θεῶν τῶν στερεῶν τούτων οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ πατάξαντες τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐν πάσῃ πληγῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

9 κραταιοῦσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς ἄνδρας ἀλλόφυλοι μήποτε δουλεύσητε τοῖς Εβραίοις καθὼς ἐδούλευσαν ἡμῖν καὶ ἔσεσθε εἰς ἄνδρας καὶ πολεμήσατε αὐτούς

10 καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτούς καὶ πταίει ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐξ Ισραηλ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες ταγμάτων

11 καὶ κιβωτὸς θεοῦ ἐλήμφθη καὶ ἀμφότεροι υἱοὶ Ηλι ἀπέθανον Οφνι καὶ Φινεες

12 καὶ ἔδραμεν ἀνὴρ Ιεμιναῖος ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Σηλωμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διερρηγότα καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ

13 καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἰδοὺ Ηλι ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου παρὰ τὴν πύλην σκοπεύων τὴν ὁδόν ὅτι ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐξεστηκυῖα περὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπαγγεῖλαι καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ἡ πόλις

14 καὶ ἤκουσεν Ηλι τὴν φωνὴν τῆς βοῆς καὶ εἶπεν τίς ἡ βοὴ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σπεύσας εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Ηλι

15 καὶ Ηλι υἱὸς ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπανέστησαν καὶ οὐκ ἔβλεπεν καὶ εἶπεν Ηλὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν τοῖς περιεστηκόσιν αὐτῷ τίς ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἤχους τούτου

16 καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ σπεύσας προσῆλθεν πρὸς Ηλι καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἥκων ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς κἀγὼ πέφευγα ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως σήμερον καὶ εἶπεν τί τὸ γεγονὸς ῥῆμα τέκνον

17 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εἶπεν πέφευγεν ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοί σου τεθνήκασιν καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἐλήμφθη

18 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐμνήσθη τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ δίφρου ὀπισθίως ἐχόμενος τῆς πύλης καὶ συνετρίβη ὁ νῶτος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανεν ὅτι πρεσβύτης ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ βαρύς καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι ἔτη

19 καὶ νύμφη αὐτοῦ γυνὴ Φινεες συνειληφυῖα τοῦ τεκεῖν καὶ ἤκουσεν τὴν ἀγγελίαν ὅτι ἐλήμφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καὶ ὤκλασεν καὶ ἔτεκεν ὅτι ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ὠδῖνες αὐτῆς

20 καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ αὐτῆς ἀποθνῄσκει καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ παρεστηκυῖαι αὐτῇ μὴ φοβοῦ ὅτι υἱὸν τέτοκας καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη καὶ οὐκ ἐνόησεν ἡ καρδία αὐτῆς

21 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ παιδάριον Οὐαὶ βαρχαβωθ ὑπὲρ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πενθεροῦ αὐτῆς καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς

22 καὶ εἶπαν ἀπῴκισται δόξα Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ λημφθῆναι τὴν κιβωτὸν κυρίου

1 Et factum est in diebus illis, convenerunt Philisthiim in pugnam: et egressus est Israël obviam Philisthiim in prælium, et castrametatus est juxta lapidem Adjutorii. Porro Philisthiim venerunt in Aphec,

2 et instruxerunt aciem contra Israël. Inito autem certamine, terga vertit Israël Philisthæis: et cæsa sunt in illo certamine passim per agros, quasi quatuor millia virorum.

3 Et reversus est populus ad castra: dixeruntque majores natu de Israël: Quare percussit nos Dominus hodie coram Philisthiim? afferamus ad nos de Silo arcam fœderis Domini, et veniat in medium nostri, ut salvet nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum.

4 Misit ergo populus in Silo, et tulerunt inde arcam fœderis Domini exercituum sedentis super cherubim: erantque duo filii Heli cum arca fœderis Dei, Ophni et Phinees.

5 Cumque venisset arca fœderis Domini in castra, vociferatus est omnis Israël clamore grandi, et personuit terra.

6 Et audierunt Philisthiim vocem clamoris, dixeruntque: Quænam est hæc vox clamoris magni in castris Hebræorum? Et cognoverunt quod arca Domini venisset in castra.

7 Timueruntque Philisthiim, dicentes: Venit Deus in castra. Et ingemuerunt, dicentes:

8 Væ nobis: non enim fuit tanta exultatio heri et nudiustertius: væ nobis. Quis nos salvabit de manu deorum sublimium istorum? hi sunt dii, qui percusserunt Ægyptum omni plaga in deserto.

9 Confortamini, et estote viri, Philisthiim, ne serviatis Hebræis, sicut et illi servierunt vobis: confortamini, et bellate.

10 Pugnaverunt ergo Philisthiim, et cæsus est Israël, et fugit unusquisque in tabernaculum suum: et facta est plaga magna nimis, et ceciderunt de Israël triginta millia peditum.

11 Et arca Dei capta est: duo quoque filii Heli mortui sunt, Ophni et Phinees.

12 Currens autem vir de Benjamin ex acie, venit in Silo in die illa, scissa veste, et conspersus pulvere caput.

13 Cumque ille venisset, Heli sedebat super sellam contra viam spectans. Erat enim cor ejus pavens pro arca Dei. Vir autem ille postquam ingressus est, nuntiavit urbi: et ululavit omnis civitas.

14 Et audivit Heli sonitum clamoris, dixitque: Quis est hic sonitus tumultus hujus? At ille festinavit, et venit, et nuntiavit Heli.

15 Heli autem erat nonaginta et octo annorum, et oculi ejus caligaverant, et videre non poterat.

16 Et dixit ad Heli: Ego sum qui veni de prælio, et ego qui de acie fugi hodie. Cui ille ait: Quid actum est, fili mi?

17 Respondens autem ille qui nuntiabat: Fugit, inquit, Israël coram Philisthiim, et ruina magna facta est in populo: insuper et duo filii tui mortui sunt, Ophni et Phinees, et arca Dei capta est.

18 Cumque ille nominasset arcam Dei, cecidit de sella retrorsum juxta ostium, et fractis cervicibus mortuus est. Senex enim erat vir et grandævus: et ipse judicavit Israël quadraginta annis.

19 Nurus autem ejus, uxor Phinees, prægnans erat, vicinaque partui: et audito nuntio quod capta esset arca Dei, et mortuus esset socer suus et vir suus, incurvavit se et peperit: irruerant enim in eam dolores subiti.

20 In ipso autem momento mortis ejus, dixerunt ei quæ stabant circa eam: Ne timeas, quia filium peperisti. Quæ non respondit eis, neque animadvertit.

21 Et vocabit puerum Ichabod, dicens: Translata est gloria de Israël, quia capta est arca Dei, et pro socero suo et pro viro suo;

22 et ait: Translata est gloria ab Israël, eo quod capta esset arca Dei.
