1 Samuel 4:18-20

English Standard Version

¹⁸ As soon as he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward ^(A)from his seat by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁹ Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. ²⁰ And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, ^(B)“Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention.
