Israel is twice defeated by the Philistines. After the first defeat, the elders bring the ark of the covenant from Shiloh as though its presence will guarantee victory, but Israel suffers a greater defeat: Hophni and Phinehas die, the ark is captured, and Eli dies when he hears that the ark is taken. Phinehas’s widow names her son Ichabod because the glory has departed from Israel.
