1 Samuel 4:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 4:14

And when Eli heard the noise of the crying
The shrieks of the men and women, which were very clamorous and terrible. Eli had his hearing, though not his sight; he could not see the distress in their countenances, but he heard the lamentations they made:

and said, what meaneth the noise of this tumult?
it seems the people ran about, wringing their hands, and making doleful shrieks; the noise of which Eli heard, and the meaning of which he inquired after, or what should be the cause of it:

and the man came in hastily, and told Eli;
or made haste, and came to him, and related all that is later expressed; for Eli was not in any house, but on a seat by the way side, and therefore could not be said to come "in" to him; but he came to him, where he was, being brought by some of the citizens Eli had inquired of what should be the meaning of this noise; and therefore without delay the man was hastened to give the whole account unto him, as it was highly proper he should, being the supreme magistrate.

1 Samuel 4:14 In-Context

12 Muerte de El铆
Un hombre de la tribu de Benjam铆n corri贸 desde el campo de batalla y, m谩s tarde ese mismo d铆a, lleg贸 a Silo. Hab铆a rasgado su ropa y echado polvo sobre su cabeza en se帽al de dolor.
13 El铆 esperaba junto al camino para o铆r noticias de la batalla, pues estaba tan preocupado por la seguridad del arca de Dios que le temblaba el coraz贸n. Cuando lleg贸 el mensajero y cont贸 lo que hab铆a sucedido, un clamor reson贸 por todo el pueblo.
14 芦驴A qu茅 se debe todo ese ruido?禄, pregunt贸 El铆.
Entonces el mensajero corri贸 a donde estaba El铆,
15 quien ten铆a noventa y ocho a帽os de edad y ya estaba ciego,
16 y le dijo:
鈥擜cabo de llegar del campo de batalla; estuve all铆 hoy mismo.
鈥斅縌u茅 pas贸, hijo m铆o? 鈥攑regunt贸 El铆.
