1 Samuel 4:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had become dim so that he could not see.

¹⁶ And the man said unto Eli, I come from the battle; I fled today out of the army. And he said unto him, What has happened, my son?

¹⁷ And the messenger answered and said, Israel fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God was taken.
