A messenger “with his garments ripped apart ” appeared before High Priest Eli to inform him that the Israelites had been defeated in battle, Eli’s two sons had been killed, and the ark of the covenant had been captured.
Një lajmëtar « me rroba të shqyera » shkoi te kryeprifti Eli që ta njoftonte se izraelitët kishin humbur betejën, dy bijtë e Elit ishin vrarë dhe arkën e besëlidhjes e kishte marrë armiku.
