撒母耳记上 4:1-22

约柜被掳

1那时,以色列人去迎战非利士人,他们在以便以谢扎营,非利士人在亚弗扎营。 2非利士人列阵与以色列人交战,大败以色列人,杀了他们四千人。 3军队回营后,以色列的长老说:“为什么今天耶和华使我们败在非利士人手下?我们从示罗把耶和华的约柜抬来吧,让它4:3 ”或作“祂”。与我们同去,好从仇敌手中救我们。”

4于是,他们派人去示罗把那坐在基路伯天使上的万军之耶和华的约柜抬来。以利的两个儿子何弗尼非尼哈也随上帝的约柜同来。 5以色列人看见耶和华的约柜到了营中,就高声欢呼,声音震天动地。 6非利士人听见了喊声就说:“希伯来人在营中喊什么?”后来他们知道是耶和华的约柜到了营中, 7就害怕起来,说:“有神明到了他们营中,我们大祸临头了,我们从来没有遇过这种事情! 8我们大祸临头了!谁能从这些大能的神明手中救我们?在旷野用各种灾祸毁灭埃及人的就是这些神明。 9非利士人啊,要刚强,做大丈夫。不然,我们就会成为希伯来人的奴隶,像他们做我们的奴隶一样。我们要做大丈夫,奋力征战。”

10非利士人和以色列人交战,以色列人败下阵来,纷纷逃回家中。他们伤亡惨重,损失了三万步兵。 11上帝的约柜被掳走了,以利的两个儿子何弗尼非尼哈被杀身亡。

以利之死

12当天有一个便雅悯人逃出了战场,他撕烂衣服,头蒙灰尘,来到示罗13以利正坐在路旁的座位上观望,因为他心里为上帝的约柜担忧。那个从战场回来的人进城报信后,全城的人都放声大哭。 14以利听见哭喊声,就问:“人们为何喊叫?”那人赶忙告诉他。 15那时,以利已经九十八岁,眼睛因为年老而失明。 16报信的人对以利说:“我今天是从战场逃回来的。”以利问:“我的孩子,情况怎么样?” 17报信的答道:“以色列人被非利士人击溃,伤亡惨重,你的两个儿子何弗尼非尼哈都死了,上帝的约柜也被掳走了。” 18以利年老体胖,听到约柜被掳去,就从门边的座位上向后跌倒,颈断身亡。他做士师审理以色列人的事务共四十年。

19以利的儿媳妇、非尼哈的妻子当时怀孕在身,接近产期。她听说上帝的约柜被掳、公公和丈夫都死了,就突然阵痛,生下了孩子。 20在她弥留之际,身旁的妇人对她说:“不要怕,你生了一个男孩。”但她既不理会,也不回答。 21她给孩子取名叫以迦博,意思是:“荣耀离开以色列了”。这是因为上帝的约柜被掳走,她的公公和丈夫都死了。 22她说:“荣耀离开了以色列,因为上帝的约柜已经被掳走了。”

King James Version

1 Samuel 4:1-22

1And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.4.1 came: or, came to pass: Heb. was 2And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.4.2 they joined…: Heb. the battle was spread4.2 army: Heb. array

3¶ And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.4.3 fetch: Heb. take unto us 4So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. 5And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. 6And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp. 7And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.4.7 heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day 8Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness. 9Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.4.9 quit…: Heb. be men

10¶ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 11And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.4.11 were slain: Heb. died

12¶ 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. 13And 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. 14And 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. 15Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.4.15 were dim: Heb. stood 16And 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?4.16 is…: Heb. is the thing 17And 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. 18And 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.

19¶ 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.4.19 be delivered: or, cry out4.19 came: Heb. were turned 20And 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.4.20 neither…: Heb. set not her heart 21And she named the child I-chabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.4.21 I-chabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory 22And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
