1 Samuel 4:18-20

English Standard Version Anglicised

¹⁸ As soon as he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backwards ^(A)from his seat by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel for forty years.

¹⁹ Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. ²⁰ And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, ^(B)“Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention.
