1 Samuel 4:15-17

21st Century King James Version

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

¹⁶ And the man said unto Eli, “I am he that came from the army, and I fled today from the army.” And he said, “What is done there, my son?”

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