16 The man said to Eli, |I am the one who came from the battle lines! Just today I fled from the battle lines!| Eli asked, |How did things go, my son?| 17 The messenger replied, |Israel has fled from the Philistines! The army has suffered a great defeat! Your two sons, Hophni and Phineas, are dead! The ark of God has been captured!| 1 Samuel 4:16-17, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
