- 那人對以利說、我是從陣上來的、今日我從陣上逃回.以利說、我兒、事情怎樣。
- 報信的回答說、以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑、民中被殺的甚多.你的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈也都死了、並且 神的約櫃被擄去。
- 他一題 神的約櫃、以利就從他的位上往後跌倒、在門旁折斷頸項而死、因為他年紀老邁、身體沉重。以利作以色列的士師四十年。
- 以利的兒婦非尼哈的妻懷孕將到產期、他聽見 神的約櫃被擄去、公公和丈夫都死了、就猛然疼痛、曲身生產。
- 將要死的時候、旁邊站著的婦人們對他說、不要怕、你生了男孩子了.他卻不回答、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.
