And this that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die on the same day.
And he gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that the Lord has spoken: ‘Behold, the altar shall be torn down, and the ashes that are on it shall be poured out.’”
And the ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
He who brought the news answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great defeat among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”
Arise therefore, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.
On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
