¹¹ The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.^(A)

Death of Eli

¹² That same day a Benjamite^(B) ran from the battle line and went to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dust^(C) on his head. ¹³ When he arrived, there was Eli^(D) sitting on his chair by the side of the road, watching, because his heart feared for the ark of God. When the man entered the town and told what had happened, the whole town sent up a cry.
