1 Samuel 4:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.

¹⁶ And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?

¹⁷ And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
