(Old Testament/Stories of Samuel, Saul and David (I Samuel
And the ark of
God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. And
there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh
the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. And when he
came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled
for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the
city cried out. And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What
meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could
not see. And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I
fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son? And the
messenger answered and said, Israel
is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter
among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the
ark of God is taken. And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of
God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his
neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel
forty years.
And his daughter
in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she
heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and
her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon
her. And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her,
Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she
regard it. And she named the child _____________, saying, ______ ______ ____
___________ from Israel :
because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her
husband.
What did the wife of Phinehas name her
child? What did the name mean?
