1 Samuel 4:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ Take courage, and be men, O Philistines, in order not to become slaves to the Hebrews as they have been to you; be men and fight.’

¹⁰ So the Philistines fought; Israel was defeated, and they fled, everyone to his home. There was a very great slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot-soldiers. ¹¹ The ark of God was captured; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
