← 1 Samuel 4:9	1 Samuel 4:10 (KJV)	1 Samuel 4:11 →
Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.	And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.	And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
