The Philistines capture God\u2019s chest In those days the Philistines gathered for war against Israel, so Israel went out to engage the Philistines in war. Israel camped at Ebenezer, while the Philistines camped at Aphek. 2The Philistines readied themselves to fight Israel. When the battle was joined, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield. 3When the troops returned to the camp, Israel\u2019s elders said, \u201cWhy did the LORD defeat us today before the Philistines? Let\u2019s bring the chest containing the LORD\u2019s covenant from Shiloh so it can go with us and save us from our enemies\u2019 power.\u201d 4So the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there the chest containing the covenant of the LORD of heavenly forces, who sits enthroned on the winged heavenly creatures. Eli\u2019s two sons Hophni and Phinehas were there with the chest containing God\u2019s covenant. 5When the chest containing the LORD\u2019s covenant entered the camp, all Israel let out such a loud shout that the ground shook. 6When the Philistines heard the sound of that shout, they asked, \u201cWhat is that loud shouting in the Hebrew camp about?\u201d When they learned that the LORD\u2019s chest had come into the camp, 7the Philistines were afraid and said, \u201cA god has come into that camp! We\u2019re doomed,\u201d they said, \u201cbecause nothing like this has ever happened before. 8We\u2019re doomed! Who will deliver us from the grip of these powerful deities? They are the same gods who struck the Egyptians in the desert with every kind of wound. 9Pull yourselves together and act like men, Philistines! Otherwise, you\u2019ll serve the Hebrews like they\u2019ve been serving you. Act like men and fight!\u201d 10So the Philistines fought. Israel was defeated, and everyone fled to their homes. It was a massive defeat: thirty thousand Israelite foot soldiers fell, 11God\u2019s chest was taken, and Eli\u2019s two sons Hophni and Phinehas died. 12That very day, a Benjaminite ran from the battle to Shiloh. His clothes were torn, and dirt was on his head. 13When he got there, Eli was sitting in a chair beside the road, waiting because he was nervous about God\u2019s chest. The man arrived and gave the news to the city, and the whole city cried out. 14Eli heard the sound of the cry and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s all this noise about?\u201d The man hurriedly went and told Eli the news. (15Now Eli was 98 years old, and his eyes stared straight ahead, unable to see.) 16The man told Eli, \u201cI\u2019m the one who just came from the battle. I fled from the battle today.\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s the report, my son?\u201d Eli asked. 17The messenger answered, \u201cIsrael has fled from the Philistines. The army has suffered a massive defeat. Also, your own two sons Hophni and Phinehas have died, and God\u2019s chest has been taken!\u201d 18At the mention of God\u2019s chest, Eli fell backward off the chair beside the gate. His neck broke, and he died because he was an old man and overweight. Eli had judged Israel for forty years. 19Now Eli\u2019s daughter-in-law, Phinehas\u2019 wife, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news that God\u2019s chest had been captured and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she doubled over and gave birth because her labor pains overwhelmed her. 20As she was about to die, the women standing by helping her said, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. You\u2019ve given birth to a son!\u201d But she didn\u2019t answer or pay them any attention. 21She named the boy Ichabod, saying, \u201cThe glory has left Israel,\u201d referring to the capture of God\u2019s chest and the death of her father-in-law and her husband. 22\u201cThe glory has left Israel because God\u2019s chest has been taken,\u201d she said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1ZtQXVySUhPSmd4NE1lMTYzbjFRTjBZNVF5Z3xBQ3Jtc0tsdFZ1ZEItcUNYQjBBZ2Y0WWhYS1JKRmIwVno5TXU5N1NQNmRna2szWGhvX05vV2NqMXR3TDNOTWxqRnhvRUN2NGpFZ3lCcGNHN0xXODBlX1Q5SDhLaVJzYmlSRC1NbUVJQUd3UDVBYy1hMUtWWkF0Zw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=RCvjakNHQlI\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1And Samuel\u2019s word went out to all Israel.
