1 Samuel 4:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Be brave, Philistines! Fight like men! In the past they were our slaves. So fight like men, or we will become their slaves.”

¹⁰ So the Philistines fought hard and defeated the Israelites, and every Israelite soldier ran away to his own home. It was a great defeat for Israel, because thirty thousand Israelite soldiers were killed. ¹¹ The Ark of God was taken by the Philistines, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
