1 Samuel 4:16-17 ▼

16 The man said to Eli, “I’m the one who came from the battle. I fled from there today.” “What happened, my son? ” Eli asked.

17 The messenger answered, “Israel has fled from the Philistines, and also there was a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”
