people, and he restrained them not.
14 And therefore I have sworn to the bayit of Eli, that the
iniquity of Eli's bayit shall not be purged with sacrifice
nor offering le-olam-va-ed.
15 And Schmuel lay until the morning, and opened the
doors of the Bayit of vuvh. And Schmuel feared to show
Eli the vision.
16 Then Eli called Schmuel, and said, Schmuel, my son.
And he answered, Hinayni.
17 And he said, What is the thing that vuvh has said to
you? I ask you, hide it not from me: Elohim do all He has
shown you, and even more also, if you hide anything
from me of all the things that He said to you.
18 And Schmuel told him everything, and hid nothing
from him. And he said, It is from vuvh: let Him do what
seems tov to Him.
19 And Schmuel grew, and vuvh was with him, and he
did not ignore even one of His words.
20 And kol Yisrael from Dan even to Be-er-Sheva knew
that Schmuel was established to be a navi of vuvh. 764
21 And vuvh appeared again in Shiloh: for vuvh revealed
Himself to Schmuel in Shiloh by the word of vuvh. 765
And the word of Schmuel came to kol Yisrael. 766
Now Yisrael went out against the Plishtim to battle, and
camped beside Even-Ezer: and the Plishtim camped in
Aphek.
2 And the Plishtim put themselves in battle against
Yisrael: and when they joined the battle, Yisrael was
smitten before the Plishtim: and they killed of the army in
the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people had come into the camp, the
zechanim of Yisrael said, Why has vuvh smitten us today
before the Plishtim? Let us get the Ark of the Testimony
of vuvh out of Shiloh to us, so that when it comes among
us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from
there the Ark of the Testimony of vuvh tzevaoth, who
dwells between the cheruvim: and the two sons of Eli,
Hofni and Pinchus, were there with the Ark of the
Testimony of Elohim.
5 And when the Ark of the Testimony of vuvh came into
the camp, kol Yisrael shouted with a great shout, so that
the earth shook.
6 And when the Plishtim heard the noise of the shout,
they said, What means the noise of this great shout in the
camp of the Ivrim? 767 4
And they understood that the Ark
of vuvh had come into the camp.
7 And the Plishtim were afraid, for they said, Elohim has
come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! For there
has not been such a thing before.
8 Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these
mighty Elohim? These are the Elohim that smote the
Mitzrim with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Be strong, and behave yourselves like men, O you
Plishtim, that you be not avadim to the Ivrim, as they
have been to you: act like men, and fight.
10 And the Plishtim fought, and Yisrael was smitten, and
they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very
great slaughter; for there fell in Yisrael thirty thousand
foot soldiers.
11 And the Ark of Elohim was taken; and the two sons of
Eli, Hofni and Pinchus, were killed.
SCHMUEL ALEF - FIRST SAMUEL
12 And there ran a man of Benyamin out of the army, and
came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and
with dust upon his head.
13 And when he came, see, Eli sat upon a seat by the
wayside watching: for his lev trembled over the Ark of
Elohim. And when the man came into the city, and told it
to them, the entire city shouted out.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said,
What means the noise of this tumult? And the man came
in hastily, and told Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were
dim, so that he could not see.
16 And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the
army, and I fled here today out of the battle. And he said,
What is going on there, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Yisrael has fled
from the Plishtim, and there has been also a great
slaughter among the people, and your two sons also,
Hofni and Pinchus, are dead, and the Ark of Elohim has
been taken.
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the Ark
of Elohim, that he fell from off the seat backward by the
side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died: for he
was an old man, and very heavy. And he had been
shophet in Yisrael for forty years.
19 And his daughter-in-law, Pinchus’s wife, was with
child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the news
that the Ark of Elohim was taken, and that her abba-inlaw
and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and
gave birth; for her labor pains came upon her.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood
by her said to her, Fear not; for you have born a son. But
she answered nothing and neither did she care.
21 And she named the child Ichavod, saying, The tifereth
has departed from Yisrael: because the Ark of Elohim
was taken, and because of her abba-in-law and her
husband.
22 And she said, The tifereth is departed from Yisrael: for
the Ark of Elohim is taken.
5
And the Plishtim took the Ark of Elohim, and brought
it from Even-Ezer to Ashdod.
2 When the Plishtim took the Ark of Elohim, they brought
it into the bayit of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 And when those of Ashdod arose early in the morning,
see, Dagon was thrown down upon his face to the earth
before the Ark of vuvh. And they took Dagon, and set him
back in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the next morning, see,
Dagon was thrown down upon his face to the ground
before the Ark of vuvh; and the head of Dagon and both
the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold;
only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that
come into Dagon's bayit, step on the threshold of Dagon
in Ashdod to this day.
6 But the hand of vuvh was heavy upon them of Ashdod,
and He destroyed them, and smote them with tumors,
even Ashdod and the borders of it.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they
said, The Ark of the Elohim of Yisrael shall not stay with
us: for His hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our
elohim.
