1 Samuel 4:11-13

Amplified Bible

¹¹ Also the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed.^(A)

¹² Now a man [from the tribe] of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh that same day with his clothes torn and dust on his head [as signs of mourning over the disaster]. ¹³ When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road, keeping watch, because his heart was anxious about the ark of God. When the man arrived to report [the news] in the city, everyone in the city cried out [to God, for help].
