What means the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? They understood that the ark of Yahweh was come into the camp. 004:007 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. They said, Woe to us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore. 004:008 Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness. 004:009 Be strong, and behave yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight. 004:010 The Philistines fought, and Israel was struck, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 004:011 The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 004:012 There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head. 004:013 When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God.
