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. 22 “The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “because the ark of God has been captured.”
