1 Samuel 4:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 4
1 La parole de Samuel s’adressait à tout Israël. Israël sortit à la rencontre des Philistins, pour combattre. Ils campèrent près d’Ében-Ézer, et les Philistins étaient campés à Aphek.
2 Les Philistins se rangèrent en bataille contre Israël, et le combat s’engagea. Israël fut battu par les Philistins, qui tuèrent sur le champ de bataille environ quatre mille hommes.
3 Le peuple rentra au camp, et les anciens d’Israël dirent: Pourquoi l’Éternel nous a-t-il laissé battre aujourd’hui par les Philistins? Allons chercher à Silo l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel; qu’elle vienne au milieu de nous, et qu’elle nous délivre de la main de nos ennemis.
4 Le peuple envoya à Silo, d’où l’on apporta l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel des armées qui siège entre les chérubins. Les deux fils d’Éli, Hophni et Phinées, étaient là, avec l’arche de l’alliance de Dieu.
5 Lorsque l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel entra dans le camp, tout Israël poussa de grands cris de joie, et la terre en fut ébranlée.
