1 Samuel 4:18 in Context — 1 Samuel 4
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.
19 E sua nora, a mulher de Fineias, que estava grávida, próxima ao parto, ouvindo a notícia que a arca de Deus havia sido tomada, e mortos seu sogro e seu marido, encurvou-se e teve o parto; porque suas dores vieram sobre ela.
20 E ao tempo em que morria, diziam-lhe as que estavam junto a ela: Não tenhas medo, porque deste à luz um filho. Mas ela não respondeu, nem deu atenção.
