7 So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp!” And they said, a“Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.
8 Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 aBe strong and conduct yourselves like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, bas they have been to you. Conduct yourselves like men, and fight!”
10 So the Philistines fought, and aIsrael was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.
11 Also athe ark of God was captured; and bthe two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
