← 1 Samuel 4:13	1 Samuel 4:14 (KJV)	1 Samuel 4:15 →
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told [it], all the city cried out.	And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What [meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.	Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
