1 Samuel 4:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 4
7 E os filisteus tiveram medo, porque diziam: Veio Deus ao campo. E disseram: Ai de nós! pois antes de agora não foi assim.
8 Ai de nós! Quem nos livrará das mãos destes deuses fortes? Estes são os deuses que feriram ao Egito com toda praga no deserto.
9 Esforçai-vos, ó filisteus, e sede homens, porque não sirvais aos hebreus, como eles vos serviram a vós: sede homens, e lutai.
10 Lutaram, pois, os filisteus, e Israel foi vencido, e fugiram cada qual a suas tendas; e foi feita muito grande mortandade, pois caíram de Israel trinta mil homens a pé.
11 E a arca de Deus foi tomada, e morreram os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Fineias.
