1 Samuel 4:19-22

The Birth of Ichabod and the Loss of Glory

1 Samuel 4:19-22
19
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
20
About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid; for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.
21
She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel”; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22
She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.”
