1 SAMUEL 4:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.”
When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city and told the news, the whole city cried out—Eli's concern is for the *aron Elohim*, not for his sons. His *libbo charad* (heart trembled) shows his intuition of catastrophe; the city's *tz'akah* (cry) confirms it.
