⁹ Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they^(A) have been to you. Be men, and fight!”

¹⁰ So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated^(B) and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. ¹¹ The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.^(C)

¹² That same day a Benjamite^(D) ran from the battle line and went to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dust^(E) on his head.
