And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 arose, H6965 and went H5927 up to the house H1008 of God, H1008 and asked H7592 counsel of God, H430 and said, H559 Which H4310 of us shall go H5927 up first H8462 to the battle H4421 against H5973 the children H1121 of Benjamin? H1144 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Judah H3063 shall go H5927 up first. H8462

(And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went H5927 up and wept H1058 before H6440 the LORD H3068 until H5704 even, H6153 and asked H7592 counsel of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 Shall I go H5066 up again H3254 to battle H4421 against H5973 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 my brother? H251 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Go H5927 up against H413 him.)

And he shall stand H5975 before H6440 Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 who shall ask H7592 counsel for him after the judgment H4941 of Urim H224 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 at H5921 his word H6310 shall they go H3318 out, and at H5921 his word H6310 they shall come H935 in, both he, and all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 with him, even all H3605 the congregation. H5712

And the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 assembled H6950 together at Shiloh, H7887 and set H7931 up the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 there. H8033 And the land H776 was subdued H3533 before H6440 them.

And when the people H5971 were come H935 into H413 the camp, H4264 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 said, H559 Why H4100 has the LORD H3068 smitten H5062 us to day H3117 before H6440 the Philistines? H6430 Let us fetch H3947 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 out of Shiloh H7887 to us, that, when it comes H935 among H7130 us, it may save H3467 us out of the hand H3709 of our enemies. H341

So the people H5971 sent H7971 to Shiloh, H7887 that they might bring H5375 from there H8033 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 which dwells H3427 between the cherubim: H3742 and the two H8147 sons H1121 of Eli, H5941 Hophni H2652 and Phinehas, H6372 were there H8033 with the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of God. H430

So that he forsook H5203 the tabernacle H4908 of Shiloh, H7887 the tent H168 which he placed H7931 among men; H120

And delivered H5414 his strength H5797 into captivity, H7628 and his glory H8597 into the enemy's H6862 hand. H3027

But go H3212 you now H4994 to my place H4725 which H834 was in Shiloh, H7887 where H834 H8033 I set H7931 my name H8034 at the first, H7223 and see H7200 what H853 H834 I did H6213 to it for the wickedness H7451 of my people H5971 Israel. H3478

Behold, H2005 the LORD's H3068 hand H3027 is not shortened, H7114 that it cannot H3808 save; H3467 neither H3808 his ear H241 heavy, H3513 that it cannot H3808 hear: H8085
