11. And the ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. [Foretold in I Sam. 2:34.]
12. Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh that day, with his clothes torn and earth on his head.
13. When he arrived, Eli was sitting by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man told the news in the city, all the city [people] cried out.
14. When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What is this uproar? And the man came hastily and told Eli.
15. Now Eli was 98 years old; his eyes were dim so that he could not see.
