And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
El mensajero respondió: 'Israel ha huido derrotado ante los filisteos. Ha habido una terrible masacre entre nuestro pueblo. Tus dos hijos, Ofni y Finees, han muerto, y el Arca de Dios ha sido capturada.'
El mensajero le dio a Elí las terribles noticias de la derrota de Israel, la muerte de sus hijos y la captura del Arca de Dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This message came to Eli, the elderly high priest, after Israel foolishly brought the Ark of the Covenant into battle against the Philistines, thinking it would guarantee victory. The Philistines were Israel's main enemies during this period, controlling much of the coastal region. Hophni and Phinehas were Eli's sons who served as priests but had corrupted their sacred duties through greed and immorality.
