16 The man told Eli, |I'm the one who came from the battle. I fled from the front line today.| |What happened, son?| Eli asked.

17 |Israel fled from the Philistines,| the messenger answered. |Our troops suffered heavy casualties. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, also are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.|
