ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૪:૧૯
તેની પુત્રવધૂ, જે ફીનહાસની પત્ની હતી તે ગર્ભવતી હતી અને તેની પ્રસૂતિનો સમય નજીક હતો. તેણે જયારે એવી ખબર સાંભળી કે ઈશ્વરના કોશનું હરણ થયું છે, તેના સસરા તથા તેનો પતિ મરણ પામ્યા છે, ત્યારે તેણે વાંકી વળીને બાળકને જન્મ આપ્યો, તેને ભારે પ્રસૂતિવેદના થતી હતી.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ४:१९
उसकी बहू पीनहास की स्त्री गर्भवती थी, और उसका समय समीप था। और जब उसने परमेश्वर के सन्दूक के छीन लिए जाने, और अपने ससुर और पति के मरने का समाचार सुना, तब उसको जच्चा का दर्द उठा, और वह दुहर गई, और उसके एक पुत्र उत्पन्न हुआ।

In context

17He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”

18When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

19His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.

20About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.

21She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
