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.

22 Elle dit: La gloire est bannie d’Israël, car l’arche de Dieu est prise!
