2 And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] put themselves in array (to put on; to clothe) against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and when they joined battle, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was smitten before the P’lishtim [Immigrants]: and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.

3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] said, For what reason has the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) smitten us to day before the P’lishtim [Immigrants]? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) out of Shiloh [Place of Rest] unto us, that, when it comes among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

4 So the people sent to Shiloh [Place of Rest], that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], which dwells [between] the k’vurim (cherubim): and the two sons of ‘Eli [ascension], Hofni [fighter] and Pinchas [mouth of brass], [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came into the camp, all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

6 And when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] heard the noise of the shout, they said, What [means] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew]? And they understood that the ark of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was come into the camp.

7 And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] were afraid, for they said, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.

8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that struck the Mitzri with all the plagues in the wilderness.

9 Be strong, and quit (acquitted; found not guilty) yourselves like men, O you2f P’lishtim [Immigrants], that you2f be not servants unto the ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew], as they have been to you: quit (acquitted; found not guilty) yourselves like men, and fight.

10 And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] fought, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] thirty thousand footmen.

11 And the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was taken; and the two sons of ‘Eli [ascension], Hofni [fighter] and Pinchas [mouth of brass], were slain.
