1 SAMUEL 4:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.”
A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head—the messenger's *kerua begadim* (torn garments) and *afar al-rosho* (dirt on his head) are signs of extreme grief and distress, following Middle Eastern mourning conventions.
