1 Samuel 4:16 in Context — 1 Samuel 4

14 E quando Eli ouviu o estrondo da gritaria, disse: Que estrondo de alvoroço é este? E aquele homem veio depressa, e deu as novas a Eli.

15 Era já Eli de idade de noventa e oito anos, e seus olhos se haviam entenebrecido, de modo que não podia ver.

16 Disse, pois, aquele homem a Eli: Eu venho da batalha, eu escapei hoje do combate. E ele disse: Que aconteceu, filho meu?

17 E o mensageiro respondeu, e disse: Israel fugiu diante dos filisteus, e também foi feita grande mortandade no povo; e também teus dois filhos, Hofni e Fineias, são mortos, e a arca de Deus foi tomada.

18 E aconteceu que quando ele fez menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu até atrás da cadeira ao lado da porta, e o seu pescoço se quebrou, e ele morreu: porque era homem velho e pesado. E havia julgado a Israel quarenta anos.
