1 And it came [the] word of Samuel to all Israel and it went out Israel to meet [the] Philistines for battle and they encamped at Eben-ezer and [the] Philistines they encamped at Aphek.

2 And they deployed [the] Philistines to meet Israel and it spread out the battle and it was defeated Israel before [the] Philistines and they struck down in the battle line in the field about four thousand man.

3 And it came the people into the camp and they said [the] elders of Israel why? has he defeated us Yahweh this day before [the] Philistines let us bring to ourselves from Shiloh [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh so it may come in midst our so it may deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our.

4 And it sent the people Shiloh and they brought from there [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh of hosts [who] sits the cherubim and [were] there [the] two [the] sons of Eli with [the] ark of [the] covenant of God Hophni and Phinehas.

5 And it was when came [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh into the camp and they shouted all Israel a shout great and it was stirred the ground.

6 And they heard [the] Philistines [the] sound of the shout and they said what? [is] [the] sound of the shout great this in [the] camp of the Hebrews and they knew that [the] ark of Yahweh it had come into the camp.

7 And they were afraid the Philistines for they said he has come a god into the camp and they said woe! to us for not it has been like this yesterday three days ago.

8 Woe! to us who? will he deliver us from [the] hand of the gods mighty these these they [are] the gods who struck Egypt with every plague in the wilderness.

9 Show yourselves strong and become men O Philistines lest you should serve the Hebrews just as they have served you and you will become men and you will fight.

13 And he came and there! Eli [was] sitting on the seat ([the] side of *QK) [the] road watching for it was heart his trembling on [the] ark of God and the man he came to tell in the city and it cried out all the city.

14 And he heard Eli [the] sound of the outcry and he said what? [is] [the] sound of the uproar this and the man he hurried and he came and he told to Eli.

15 And Eli [was] a son of ninety and eight year[s] and eyes his it was set and not he was able to see.

16 And he said the man to Eli I [am] the [one who] comes from the battle line and I from the battle line I have fled this day and he said what? was it the word O son my.
