- 那人对以利说,我是从阵上来的,今日我从阵上逃回。以利说,我儿,事情怎样。
- 报信的回答说,以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑,民中被杀的甚多。你的两个儿子何弗尼,非尼哈也都死了,并且神的约柜被掳去。
- 他一提神的约柜,以利就从他的位上往后跌倒,在门旁折断颈项而死。因为他年纪老迈,身体沉重。以利作以色列的士师四十年。
- 以利的儿妇,非尼哈的妻怀孕将到产期,她听见神的约柜被掳去,公公和丈夫都死了,就猛然疼痛,曲身生产。
- 将要死的时候,旁边站着的妇人们对她说,不要怕。你生了男孩子了。她却不回答,也不放在心上。

- The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, "How did things go, my son?"
- Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken."
- When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. Thus he judged Israel forty years.
- Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas's wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.
- And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention.
