1 Samuel 4:15-17

Darby Translation

¹⁵ Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.

¹⁶ And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the battle, and I have fled to-day out of the battle. And he said, What has taken place, my son?

¹⁷ And the messenger answered and said, Israel has 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 is taken.
