The Death of Eli

¹² A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day, ^(C)with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. ¹³ When he arrived, ^(D)Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told the news, all the city cried out.
