1 Samuel 4:19-21

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news about the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth because her labor pains came on her. ²⁰ As she was dying,^[a] the women taking care of her said, “Don’t be afraid. You’ve given birth to a son!” ^(A) But she did not respond or pay attention. ²¹ She named the boy Ichabod,^[b] saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,”^(B) referring to the capture of the ark of God^(C) and to the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband.
