7 Les Philistins eurent peur, parce qu’ils crurent que Dieu était venu dans le camp. Malheur à nous! Dirent-ils, car il n’en a pas été ainsi jusqu’à présent.
8 Malheur à nous! Qui nous délivrera de la main de ces dieux puissants? Ce sont ces dieux qui ont frappé les Égyptiens de toutes sortes de plaies dans le désert.
9 Fortifiez-vous et soyez des hommes, Philistins, de peur que vous ne soyez asservis aux Hébreux comme ils vous ont été asservis; soyez des hommes et combattez!
10 Les Philistins livrèrent bataille, et Israël fut battu. Chacun s’enfuit dans sa tente. La défaite fut très grande, et il tomba d’Israël trente mille hommes de pied.
11 L’arche de Dieu fut prise, et les deux fils d’Éli, Hophni et Phinées, moururent.
