A man of Benjamin ran to Shiloh and came to Eli. His clothes were torn and he reported to Eli, “God's Ark has been taken away from us by the Philistines. Both of your sons are dead.” Eli fell backwards from his seat and broke his neck and died! As his daughter-in-law, who was with child and near to giving birth, heard this, her pains came upon her and she gave birth. As she lay dying, she named her son Ichabod, which means, the glory has departed (from Israel).
