1 Samuel 4:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 4
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.
18 A peine eut-il fait mention de l’arche de Dieu, qu’Éli tomba de son siège à la renverse, à côté de la porte; il se rompit la nuque et mourut, car c’était un homme vieux et pesant. Il avait été juge en Israël pendant quarante ans.
19 Sa belle-fille, femme de Phinées, était enceinte et sur le point d’accoucher. Lorsqu’elle entendit la nouvelle de la prise de l’arche de Dieu, de la mort de son beau-père et de celle de son mari, elle se courba et accoucha, car les douleurs la surprirent.
