BRAGADAYJAH 813

BRAGADAYJAH 813
Israel Defeated Again.
Now when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout and perceived that it was because the presence of the Lord of Host of the Israelites was among them, the Philistines became very afraid and exclaimed, “God has come into the camp of our enemy, and woe is us, for this is a thing we have not seen before.”  “And now who shall deliver us from the mighty God of Israel, the God who smote the Egyptians with all those plagues!”  So the men of the Philistines were urged to brace themselves and fight like men, less they fall slave to the Hebrews. And the Philistines fought and Israel was smitten and those who were able to escape fled to their tents; and there was a great slaughter that day as there fell thirty thousand Israeli footmen that day; and the Ark of God was taken and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas were slain. That same day, a man came out of the army to Shiloh and found Eli sitting by the wayside waiting, for his heart was heavy and troubled for the ark of God; and when the man told the people what had happened they wept bitterly and loudly and Eli heard the weeping of the people even before the man from the army told him the bad news.
