    17The 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.'

    20As 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.
