THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL BECAUSE THE ARK OF GOD WAS TAKEN
1 SAMUEL 4:19-22
AND HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW, PHINEHAS' WIFE, WAS WITH CHILD, NEAR TO BE DELIVERED: AND WHEN SHE HEARD THE TIDINGS THAT THE ARK OF GOD WAS TAKEN, AND THAT HER FATHER IN LAW AND HER HUSBAND WERE DEAD, SHE BOWED HERSELF AND TRAVAILED; FOR HER PAINS CAME UPON HER.AND ABOUT THE TIME OF HER DEATH THE WOMEN THAT STOOD BY HER SAID UNTO HER, FEAR NOT; FOR THOU HAST BORN A SON. BUT SHE ANSWERED NOT, NEITHER DID SHE REGARD IT. AND SHE NAMED THE CHILD ICHABOD, SAYING, THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL: BECAUSE THE ARK OF GOD WAS TAKEN, AND BECAUSE OF HER FATHER IN LAW AND HER HUSBAND. AND SHE SAID, THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL: FOR THE ARK OF GOD IS TAKEN.
