12 And a man of Benjamin will run from the array, and he will come to Shiloh in that day; and his garments rent and earth upon his head. 13 And he will come, and behold, Eli sitting upon a seat of the side of the way, looking about: for his heart was trembling for the ark of God. And the man came to announce in the city, and all the city will cry out. 14 And Eli will hear the voice of the cry, and will say, What the voice of this noise? And the man hastened, and he will go in and announce to Eli. 15 And Eli the son of ninety and eight years; and his eyes standing, and he will not be able to see. 16 And the man will say to Eli, I came from the array, and I fled from the array this day; And he will say, What was the word, my son? 17 And he bearing tidings will answer and say, Israel fled before Philisteim, and also a great slaughter was among the people, and also thy two sons died, Hophni and Phinehas; and the ark of God was taken. 1 Samuel 4:12-17, Smith's Literal Translation.
