Context — The Death of Eli
18As soon as the ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the city gate, and being old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. And Eli had judged Israel forty years.
19Now Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news of the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth, for her labor pains overtook her.
20As she was dying, the women attending to her said, “Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son!” But she did not respond or pay any heed.
21And she named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured and her father-in-law and her husband had been killed. 22“The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “for the ark of God has been captured.”Cross References

1 Samuel 4:20 Summary
This verse tells us about a woman who had just given birth to a son, but she was too sad and hurt to care, because she had just heard about the death of her husband and father-in-law, and the capture of the ark of God. She was overwhelmed by her emotions and couldn't find joy in the good news, as seen in 1 Samuel 4:20. This reminds us that sometimes, our circumstances can be so difficult that it's hard to find comfort or joy, but we can always turn to God for support and comfort, as encouraged in Psalms 34:18 and Matthew 5:4. We can learn from this verse to be patient and understanding with others who may be struggling, and to seek support from God and others in times of need, as seen in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the women attending to the daughter-in-law of Eli try to comfort her with the news of having a son?
The women were trying to comfort her in a time of great sorrow and pain, as seen in 1 Samuel 4:20, but she was too distraught to respond, having just heard about the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and husband, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 4:18-19.
What can we learn from the daughter-in-law of Eli's reaction to the news of her husband's and father-in-law's death?
We can learn that sometimes, in the face of great tragedy or loss, it can be difficult to find comfort in happy news, as seen in 1 Samuel 4:20, and that it's essential to acknowledge and process our emotions, as the Psalmist did in Psalms 13:1-2.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of 1 Samuel?
This verse is part of the narrative of the ark of God being captured by the Philistines, which marks a turning point in the history of Israel, as seen in 1 Samuel 4:1-22, and sets the stage for the rise of Samuel as a leader in Israel, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 7:1-17.
What can we learn from the fact that the daughter-in-law of Eli did not respond to the news of having a son?
We can learn that sometimes, our circumstances can be so overwhelming that we struggle to find joy or comfort in the good things that happen to us, as seen in 1 Samuel 4:20, and that it's essential to seek support and comfort from God and others, as encouraged in Proverbs 17:17 and Romans 12:15.
Reflection Questions
- How do I respond to difficult news or circumstances in my life, and what can I learn from the daughter-in-law of Eli's reaction?
- What are some ways that I can find comfort and support in times of sorrow or loss, and how can I be a source of comfort to others?
- How can I balance the desire to celebrate happy news with the need to acknowledge and process difficult emotions, as seen in this verse?
- What are some ways that I can apply the lessons from this verse to my own life, and how can I use it as an opportunity for growth and reflection?
