09:004:011 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni
           and Phinehas, were slain.

09:004:012 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to
           Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon
           his head.

09:004:013 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside
           watching:  for his heart trembled for the ark of God.  And when
           the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried
           out.

09:004:014 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What
           meaneth the noise of this tumult?  And the man came in hastily,
           and told Eli.

09:004:015 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim,
           that he could not see.

09:004:016 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army,
           and I fled to day out of the army.  And he said, What is there
           done, my son?

09:004:017 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is 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.

09:004:018 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God,
           that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the
           gate, and his neck brake, and he died:  for he was an old man,
           and heavy.  And he had judged Israel forty years.

09:004:019 And his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near
           to be delivered:  and when she heard the tidings that the ark
           of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband
           were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came
           upon her.

09:004:020 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her
           said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son.  But she
           answered not, neither did she regard it.

09:004:021 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed
           from Israel:  because the ark of God was taken, and because of
           her father in law and her husband.

09:004:022 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel:  for the ark
           of God is taken.

09:005:001 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from
           Ebenezer unto Ashdod.

09:005:002 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into
           the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

09:005:003 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold,
           Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of
           the lord.  And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
