1 Samuel 4:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² A man from the tribe of Benjamin ran from the front line of the battle. He went to Shiloh that day with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.^{[a] 13} When he arrived, Eli was sitting on a chair beside the road, watching. He was worried about the ark of God. The man went into the city to tell the news. The whole city cried out. ¹⁴ Hearing the cry, Eli asked, “What is this commotion?” So the man went quickly to tell Eli the news.
