1 Samuel 4:20 in Context — 1 Samuel 4

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.

21 E chamou ao menino Icabode, dizendo: Passada foi a glória de Israel! Por causa arca de Deus que foi tomada, e porque era morto seu sogro, e seu marido.

22 Disse, pois: Passada foi a glória de Israel; porque a arca de Deus foi tomada.
