1 Samuel 4:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰ She was about to die when the women who were helping her said, “Don’t worry, you have given birth to a son.”

But she did not answer or pay attention. ²¹ She named the baby Ichabod,^[a] that is to say, “Israel’s glory has been taken away.”^[b] She did this because God’s Holy Box was taken away and because both her father-in-law and her husband were dead. ²² She said, “Israel’s glory has been taken away” because the Philistines had taken God’s Holy Box.
