1 Samuel 4:18-22

Listen to 1 Samuel 4:18-22
18 Y aconteci贸 que como 茅l hizo menci贸n del arca de Dios, Eli cay贸 hacia atr谩s de la silla al lado de la puerta, y quebr贸sele la cerviz, y muri贸: porque era hombre viejo y pesado. Y hab铆a juzgado 谩 Israel cuarenta a帽os.
19 Y su nuera, la mujer de Phinees, que estaba pre帽ada, cercana al parto, oyendo el rumor que el arca de Dios era tomada, y muertos su suegro y su marido, encorv贸se y pari贸; porque sus dolores se hab铆an ya derramado por ella.
20 Y al tiempo que se mor铆a, dec铆anle las que estaban junto 谩 ella: No tengas temor, porque has parido un hijo. Mas ella no respondi贸, ni par贸 mientes.
21 Y llam贸 al ni帽o Ich芒bod, diciendo: 隆Traspasada es la gloria de Israel! por el arca de Dios que fu茅 tomada, y porque era muerto su suegro, y su marido.
22 Dijo pues: Traspasada es la gloria de Israel: porque el arca de Dios fu茅 tomada.

1 Samuel 4:18-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 4

This chapter is a narrative of a war between Israel and the Philistines, in the time of Samuel, and of the consequences of it. In the first battle, the Philistines had the better of the Israelites, which caused the latter to inquire into the reason of it, and who proposed to fetch the ark of the Lord, and did, to repair their loss, and prepare for a second battle, in which they hoped to succeed, and which struck a panic into their enemies, 1Sa 4:1-7, who yet encouraged and stirred up one another to behave in a courageous manner, and victory a second time was on their side, a great number of the Israelites were slain, among whom were Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, and the ark of God was taken, 1Sa 4:8-11, the news of which being brought to Eli, he fell back and died, 1Sa 4:12-18 and to his daughter-in-law, who upon it fell into labour, and died also, 1Sa 4:19-22.
