1 Samuel - Chapter: 4


4:1	And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
4:2	And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
4:3	And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4:4	So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
4:5	And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
4:6	And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
4:7	And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
4:8	Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
4:9	Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
4:10	And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
4:11	And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
4:12	And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
4:13	And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
4:14	And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
4:15	Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
4:16	And the man said unto 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 son?
4:17	And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
4:18	And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
4:19	And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
4:20	And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
4:21	And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
4:22	And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.


4:1	ויהי דבר שׁמואל לכל ישׂראל ויצא ישׂראל לקראת פלשׁתים למלחמה ויחנו על האבן העזר ופלשׁתים חנו באפק׃
4:2	ויערכו פלשׁתים לקראת ישׂראל ותטשׁ המלחמה וינגף ישׂראל לפני פלשׁתים ויכו במערכה בשׂדה כארבעת אלפים אישׁ׃
4:3	ויבא העם אל המחנה ויאמרו זקני ישׂראל למה נגפנו יהוה היום לפני פלשׁתים נקחה אלינו משׁלה את ארון ברית יהוה ויבא בקרבנו וישׁענו מכף איבינו׃
4:4	וישׁלח העם שׁלה וישׂאו משׁם את ארון ברית יהוה צבאות ישׁב הכרבים ושׁם שׁני בני עלי עם ארון ברית האלהים חפני ופינחס׃
4:5	ויהי כבוא ארון ברית יהוה אל המחנה וירעו כל ישׂראל תרועה גדולה ותהם הארץ׃
4:6	וישׁמעו פלשׁתים את קול התרועה ויאמרו מה קול התרועה הגדולה הזאת במחנה העברים וידעו כי ארון יהוה בא אל המחנה׃
4:7	ויראו הפלשׁתים כי אמרו בא אלהים אל המחנה ויאמרו אוי לנו כי לא היתה כזאת אתמול שׁלשׁם׃
4:8	אוי לנו מי יצילנו מיד האלהים האדירים האלה אלה הם האלהים המכים את מצרים בכל מכה במדבר׃
4:9	התחזקו והיו לאנשׁים פלשׁתים פן תעבדו לעברים כאשׁר עבדו לכם והייתם לאנשׁים ונלחמתם׃
4:10	וילחמו פלשׁתים וינגף ישׂראל וינסו אישׁ לאהליו ותהי המכה גדולה מאד ויפל מישׂראל שׁלשׁים אלף רגלי׃
4:11	וארון אלהים נלקח ושׁני בני עלי מתו חפני ופינחס׃
4:12	וירץ אישׁ בנימן מהמערכה ויבא שׁלה ביום ההוא ומדיו קרעים ואדמה על ראשׁו׃
4:13	ויבוא והנה עלי ישׁב על הכסא יך דרך מצפה כי היה לבו חרד על ארון האלהים והאישׁ בא להגיד בעיר ותזעק כל העיר׃
4:14	וישׁמע עלי את קול הצעקה ויאמר מה קול ההמון הזה והאישׁ מהר ויבא ויגד לעלי׃
4:15	ועלי בן תשׁעים ושׁמנה שׁנה ועיניו קמה ולא יכול לראות׃
4:16	ויאמר האישׁ אל עלי אנכי הבא מן המערכה ואני מן המערכה נסתי היום ויאמר מה היה הדבר בני׃
4:17	ויען המבשׂר ויאמר נס ישׂראל לפני פלשׁתים וגם מגפה גדולה היתה בעם וגם שׁני בניך מתו חפני ופינחס וארון האלהים נלקחה׃
4:18	ויהי כהזכירו את ארון האלהים ויפל מעל הכסא אחרנית בעד יד השׁער ותשׁבר מפרקתו וימת כי זקן האישׁ וכבד והוא שׁפט את ישׂראל ארבעים שׁנה׃
4:19	וכלתו אשׁת פינחס הרה ללת ותשׁמע את השׁמעה אל הלקח ארון האלהים ומת חמיה ואישׁה ותכרע ותלד כי נהפכו עליה צריה׃
4:20	וכעת מותה ותדברנה הנצבות עליה אל תיראי כי בן ילדת ולא ענתה ולא שׁתה לבה׃
4:21	ותקרא לנער אי כבוד לאמר גלה כבוד מישׂראל אל הלקח ארון האלהים ואל חמיה ואישׁה׃
4:22	ותאמר גלה כבוד מישׂראל כי נלקח ארון האלהים׃


4:1	And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goeth out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
4:2	and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreadeth itself, and Israel is smitten before the Philistines, and they smite among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
4:3	And the people cometh in unto the camp, and the elders of Israel say, `Why hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? we take unto us from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and it cometh into our midst, and He doth save us out of the hand of our enemies.'
4:4	And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs, and there `are' two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
4:5	And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto the camp, that all Israel shout -- a great shout -- and the earth is moved.
4:6	And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, `What `is' the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' and they perceive that the ark of Jehovah hath come in unto the camp.
4:7	And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, `God hath come in unto the camp;' and they say, `Wo to us, for there hath not been like this heretofore.
4:8	Wo to us, who doth deliver us out of the hand of these honourable gods? these `are' the gods who are smiting the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
4:9	Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest ye do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you -- then ye have become men, and have fought.'
4:10	And the Philistines fight, and Israel is smitten, and they flee each to his tents, and the blow is very great, and there fall of Israel thirty thousand footmen;
4:11	and the ark of God hath been taken, and the two sons of Eli have died, Hophni and Phinehas.
4:12	And a man of Benjamin runneth out of the ranks, and cometh into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes `are' rent, and earth on his head;
4:13	and he cometh in, and lo, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart hath been trembling for the ark of God, and the man hath come in to declare `it' in the city, and all the city crieth out.
4:14	And Eli heareth the noise of the cry, and saith, `What -- the noise of this tumult!' And the man hasted, and cometh in, and declareth to Eli.
4:15	And Eli is a son of ninety and eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he hath not been able to see.
4:16	And the man saith unto Eli, `I `am' he who hath come out of the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he saith, `What hath been the matter, my son?'
4:17	And he who is bearing tidings answereth and saith, `Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter hath been among the people, and also thy two sons have died -- Hophni and Phinehas -- and the ark of God hath been captured.'
4:18	And it cometh to pass, at his mentioning the ark of God, that he falleth from off the throne backward, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dieth, for the man `is' old and heavy, and he hath judged Israel forty years.
4:19	And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, `is' pregnant, about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon her.
4:20	And at the time of her death, when the women who are standing by her say, `Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she hath not answered, nor set her heart `to it';
4:21	and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, `Honour hath removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
4:22	And she saith, `Honour hath removed from Israel, for the ark of God hath been taken.'
