1st Samuel 4

The Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. The Bible didn't say they had god's approval so this could be really bad. So it turnes out we lose. When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, "Why did the LORD bring defeat upon us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the LORD's covenant from Shiloh, so that it may go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies." That's gonna work! COME ON! What's gotten into thier heads? Eli's two sons, were appointed to bring the Ark Of The Covenant onto the battle field. So once the Philistines found out they were sceered.
So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. The ark of God was captured, and Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died. Just as God said they would die. So a man fled from the battle feild and told the bad news. Eli asked: "What is the meaning of this uproar?"
The man hurried over to Eli, who was ninety-eight years old and whose eyes were set so that he could not see. He told Eli, "I have just come from the battle line; I fled from it this very day."
Eli asked, "What happened, my son?"

The man who brought the news replied, "Israel fled before the Philistines, and the army has suffered heavy losses. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured." Then Eli fell back in his chair, broke his neck, and died.
