પલિસ્તીઓએ ઇઝરાયલીઓ વિરુદ્ધ યુદ્ધ માટે વ્યૂહરચના કરી. જયારે યુદ્ધ થયું, ત્યારે પલિસ્તીઓની સામે ઇઝરાયલીઓ હારી ગયા, પલિસ્તીઓએ યુદ્ધના મેદાનમાં આશરે ચાર હજાર ઇઝરાયલીઓનો સંહાર કર્યો.

तब पलिश्तियों ने इस्राएल के विरुद्ध पाँति बाँधी, और जब घमासान युद्ध होने लगा तब इस्राएली पलिश्तियों से हार गए, और उन्होंने कोई चार हजार इस्राएली सेना के पुरुषों को मैदान में ही मार डाला।

In context

1The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

2The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.

3When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”

4So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
