1 Samuel 4:19 in Context — 1 Samuel 4

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.

20 Comme elle allait mourir, les femmes qui étaient auprès d’elle lui dirent: Ne crains point, car tu as enfanté un fils! Mais elle ne répondit pas et n’y fit pas attention.

21 Elle appela l’enfant I-Kabod, en disant: La gloire est bannie d’Israël! C’était à cause de la prise de l’arche de Dieu, et à cause de son beau-père et de son mari.
