1 Samuel 4:12-15 ▼

12 Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his robes torn and dust on his head.

13 And he came, and behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road eagerly watching because his heart was trembling for the ark of God. Now the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.

14 Then Eli heard the noise of the outcry, and he said, “What does the noise of this commotion mean?” So the man came hurriedly and told Eli.

15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had set so that he could not see.
