14. And when Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the ish came in hastily, and told Eli.
15. Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were kamah (set, stiff, fixed motionless), that he could not see.
16. And the ish said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the ma'arakhah (battleground), and I fled today from the ma'arakhah. And he said, What happened there, beni?
17. And the mevaser (herald, bringer of news, bearer of tidings, evangelist) answered and said, Yisroel is fled before the Pelishtim, and there hath been also a magefah gedolah among HaAm, and thy two banim also, Chophni and Pinchas, are dead, and the Aron HaElohim is captured.
18. And it came to pass, when he made mention of the Aron HaElohim, that he fell from off the kisse backward by the side of the sha'ar, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the ish was zaken (old) and kaved (heavy). And he had judged Yisroel arba'im shanah.
19. And his kallah (daughter-in-law), eshet Pinchas, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the Aron HaElohim was captured, and that her kham (woman's father-in-law) and her ish were dead, she fell upon her knees in labor and gave birth; for her labor pains came upon her.
20. And about the time of her mot (death) the attending women said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born ben. But she answered not, neither did her lev pay attention.
21. And she named the na'ar Ichavod [Inglorious], saying, The kavod is departed from Yisroel; because the Aron HaElohim is captured, and because of her kham (woman's father-in-law) and her ish.
22. And she said, The kavod is departed from Yisroel; for the Aron HaElohim is captured.
