1 SAMUEL 4:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.”
She said: The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured—her final *divrah* (word) reiterates the theological devastation. The *kavod YHWH* (glory of the LORD), the manifest presence, is no longer with Israel. This is exile before exile, the loss of divine presence even in the land.
