The Philistines Capture the Ark 1Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ συναθροίζονται ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐπὶ Ἀβενέζερ, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν Ἀφέκ. 2καὶ παρατάσσονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔκλινεν ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἔπταισεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐπλήγησαν ἐν τῇ παρατάξει ἐν ἀγρῷ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν. 3καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραήλ Κατὰ τί ἔπταισεν ἡμᾶς Κύριος σήμερον ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων; λάβωμεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐκ Σηλώμ, καὶ ἐξελθέτω ἐκ μέσου ἡμῶν καὶ σώσει ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν. 4καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς Σηλώμ, καὶ αἴρουσιν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου καθημένου χερουβείμ· καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἠλεὶ μετὰ τῆς κιβωτοῦ, Ὁφνεὶ καὶ Φεινεές. 5καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἦλθεν κιβωτὸς Κυρίου εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, καὶ ἀνέκραξεν πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἤχησεν ἡ γῆ. 6καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῆς κραυγῆς, καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι Τίς ἡ κραυγὴ ἡ μεγάλη αὕτη ἐν παρεμβολῇ τῶν Ἐβραίων; καὶ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι κιβωτὸς Κυρίου ἥκει εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν. 7καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ εἶπον Οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ ἥκασιν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν· οὐαὶ ἡμῖν· ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς, Κύριε, σήμερον, ὅτι οὐ γέγονεν τοιαύτη ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην. 8οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, τίς ἐξελεῖται ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν θεῶν τῶν στερεῶν τούτων; οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ πατάξαντες τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐν πάσῃ πληγῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. 9κραταιοῦσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς ἄνδρας καὶ πολεμήσατε αὐτούς. 10καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτούς· καὶ πταίει ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες ταγμάτων. 11καὶ κιβωτὸς θεοῦ ἐλήμφθη, καὶ ἀμφότεροι υἱοὶ Ἠλεὶ ἀπέθανον, Ὁφνεὶ καὶ Φεινεές. The Death of Eli 12Καὶ ἔδραμεν ἀνὴρ Ἰεμειναῖος ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Σηλὼμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διερρηγότα καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ. 13καὶ ἦλθεν, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἠλεὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου παρὰ τὴν πύλην σκοπεύων τὴν ὁδόν, ὅτι ἦν καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐξεστηκυῖα περὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπαγγεῖλαι, καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ἡ πόλις. 14καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἠλεὶ τὴν φωνὴν τῆς βοῆς καὶ εἶπεν Τίς ἡ βοὴ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης; καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σπεύσας εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Ἠλεί. 15καὶ Ἠλεὶ υἱὸς ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπανέστησαν καὶ οὐκ ἔβλεπεν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλεὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν τοῖς περιεστηκόσιν αὐτῷ Τίς ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἤχους τούτου; 16καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ σπεύσας προσῆλθεν Ἠλεὶ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἥκων ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, κἀγὼ πέφευγα ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως σήμερον. καὶ εἶπεν Τί τὸ γεγονὸς ῥῆμα, τέκνον; 17καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εἶπεν Πέφευγεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοί σου τεθνήκασιν, καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἐλήμφθη. 18καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐμνήσθη τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ δίφρου ὀπισθίως ἐχόμενος τῆς πύλης, καὶ συνετρίβη ὁ νῶτος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανεν, ὅτι πρεσβύτης ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ βαρύς· καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκρινεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἴκοσι ἔτη. 19Καὶ νύμφη αὐτοῦ γυνὴ Φεινεὲς συνειληφυῖα τοῦ τεκεῖν· καὶ ἤκουσεν τὴν ἀγγελίαν ὅτι ἐλήμφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ ἔτεκεν, ὅτι ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ὠδῖνες αὐτῆς· 20καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ αὐτῆς ἀποθνήσκει. καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ παρεστηκυῖαι αὐτῇ Μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι υἱὸν τέτοκας· καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη, καὶ οὐκ ἐνόησεν ἡ καρδία αὐτῆς. 21καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ παιδάριον Οὐαὶ βαρχαβώθ, ὑπὲρ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πενθεροῦ αὐτῆς καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς. 22καὶ εἶπαν Ἀπῴκισται δόξα Ἰσραήλ, ἐν τῷ λημφθῆναι τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου.
