This will be a confirming sign for you that will be fulfilled through your two sons,<n id="1" /> Hophni and Phinehas: in a single day they both will die!

The ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, were killed.p>

They will ask you how you&#8217;re doing and will give you two loaves of bread. You will accept them.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Saul was [thirty]<n id="1" /> years old when he began to reign; he ruled over Israel for [forty]<n id="2" /> years.

Jonathan said to David, &#8220;Come on. Let&#8217;s go out to the field.&#8221;p> <p class="bodytext">When the two of them had gone out into the field,

When the two of them had made a covenant before the <sc>Lordsc>, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.p>

<p class="bodytext">David had also married<n id="1" /> Ahinoam from Jezreel; the two of them became his wives.

David&#8217;s two wives had been taken captive &#8211; Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the Carmelite, Nabal&#8217;s widow.

David retrieved everything the Amalekites had taken; he<n id="1" /> also rescued his two wives.

He had two wives; the name of the first was Hannah and the name of the second was Peninnah. Now Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.p>

So the <sc>Lordsc> graciously attended to Hannah, and she was able to conceive and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The boy Samuel grew up at the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s sanctuary.<n id="1" />p>

The <sc>Lordsc> said to Samuel, &#8220;Look! I am about to do something in Israel;<n id="1" /> when anyone hears about it, both of his ears will tingle.

<p class="bodytext">So the men did as instructed.<n id="1" /> They took two cows that had calves and harnessed them to a cart; they also removed their calves to their stalls.

<p class="bodytext">When they<n id="1" /> made themselves known to the Philistine garrison, the Philistines said, &#8220;Look! The Hebrews are coming out of the holes in which they hid themselves.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua.<n id="1" /> He had two daughters; the older one was named Merab and the younger Michal.

David settled with Achish in Gath, along with his men and their families.<n id="1" /> David had with him his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the Carmelite, Nabal&#8217;s widow.

<p class="bodytext">Year after year<n id="1" /> this man would go up from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the <sc>Lordsc> of hosts at Shiloh. It was there that the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, served as the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s priests.

<p class="bodytext">So the army<n id="1" /> sent to Shiloh, and they took from there the ark of the covenant of the <sc>Lordsc> of hosts who sits between the cherubim. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

The messenger replied, &#8220;Israel has fled from<n id="1" /> the Philistines! The army has suffered a great defeat! Your two sons, Hophni and Phineas, are dead! The ark of God has been captured!&#8221;p>

But when they got up early the following day, Dagon was again lying on the ground before the ark of the <sc>Lordsc>. The head of Dagon and his two hands were sheared off and were lying at the threshold. Only Dagon&#8217;s body was left intact.<n id="1" />
