1 Samuel 4:19-22

The Birth of Ichabod and the Loss of Glory

1 Samuel 4:19-22
19
His daughter-in-law, Pinchas's wife, was pregnant and near delivery-time. When she heard the news that the ark of God had been captured and that her father-in-law and husband were dead, she went into abnormal labor, bent over and gave birth.
20
As she was dying, the women standing by her said to her, "Don't be afraid, because you have given birth to a son." But she didn't answer or show any sign of recognition.
21
She named the child I-Khavod [without glory], saying, "The glory has departed from Isra'el"; because the ark of God had been captured, and because of her father-in-law and husband.
22
She said, "The glory of Isra'el has gone into exile, because the ark of God has been captured."
