NASB
"The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, "How did things go, my son?""
— 1 Samuel 4:16, NASB
“And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?”
“And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army. And he said, How went the matter, my son? ”
“The man said to Eli, "I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army." He said, "How did the matter go, my son?"”
“The man said to Eli,“I am the one who came from the battle lines! Just today I fled from the battle lines!” Eli asked,“How did things go, my son?””
“And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?”
“And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?”
“And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?”
When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road eagerly watching, because his heart was trembling for the ark of God. So the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.
When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, "What does the noise of this commotion mean?" Then the man came hurriedly and told Eli.
Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were set so that he could not see.
The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, "How did things go, my son?"
Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken."
When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. Thus he judged Israel forty years.
Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas's wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.
