But the king's servants were unwilling to raise their hands to strike the priests of the Lord. 18 The king then commanded Doeg, 'Turn and strike down the priests!' So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod. 19 He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, killing its men and women, children and infants, and also its oxen, donkeys, and sheep. 20 But one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escaped and fled to David.

When the man entered the city to report the news, the entire city cried out. 14 Eli heard the sound of the outcry and said, 'What is the meaning of this uproar?' Then the man hurried over to Eli and told him the news. 15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed, so he could not see. 16 The man said to Eli, 'I have come from the battle; I fled from the battlefield today.' Eli asked, 'What happened, my son?' 17 The messenger answered, 'Israel has fled before the Philistines, there has been a great slaughter among the people, your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the Ark of God has been captured.' 18 When he mentioned the Ark of God, Eli fell backward off his seat by the gate. His neck was broken, and he died, for he was an old and heavy man. He had judged Israel for forty years. 19 Now Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and near the time of delivery. When she heard the news that the Ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, overwhelmed by her labor pains. 20 As she was dying, the women attending her said, 'Don’t despair, you have given birth to a son.' But she did not answer or pay attention.
