15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.(A) 16 The man said to Eli, “I have just come from the battle; I fled from the battle today.” He said, “How did it go, my son?”(B) 17 The messenger replied, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great slaughter[a] among the troops; your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”
