1 Samuel 4:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phin′ehas, was with child, about to give birth. And when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth; for her pains came upon her. ²⁰ And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, “Fear not, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or give heed. ²¹ And she named the child Ich′abod,^[a] saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
