1 Samuel 4:15 in Context — 1 Samuel 4

13 Lorsqu’il arriva, Éli était dans l’attente, assis sur un siège près du chemin, car son cœur était inquiet pour l’arche de Dieu. A son entrée dans la ville, cet homme donna la nouvelle, et toute la ville poussa des cris.

14 Éli, entendant ces cris, dit: Que signifie ce tumulte? Et aussitôt l’homme vint apporter la nouvelle à Éli.

15 Or Éli était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-huit ans, il avait les yeux fixes et ne pouvait plus voir.

16 L’homme dit à Éli: J’arrive du champ de bataille, et c’est du champ de bataille que je me suis enfui aujourd’hui. Éli dit: Que s’est-il passé, mon fils?

17 Celui qui apportait la nouvelle dit en réponse: Israël a fui devant les Philistins, et le peuple a éprouvé une grande défaite; et même tes deux fils, Hophni et Phinées, sont morts, et l’arche de Dieu a été prise.
