那时，神的约柜在那里；亚伦的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈侍立在约柜前。以色列人问耶和华说：“我们当再出去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗呢？还是罢兵呢？”耶和华说：“你们当上去，因为明日我必将他们交在你们手中。”

時、上帝約匱在彼、亞倫孫、以利亞撒子非尼哈、侍於其前、

當時上帝之約匱在彼、亞倫孫、以利亞撒子非尼哈立於其前、以色列族問於耶和華曰、我儕復攻同儕便雅憫族、或往乎、或止乎。耶和華曰、往哉、明日我將以之付於爾手。

The Israelites went up seeking direction from the Lord.( In those days the Ark of the Covenant of God was in Bethel,

The entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The land had been subdued before them,

When the troops returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked,“ Why did the LORD defeat us today before the Philistines? Let’s bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant from Shiloh. Then it will go with us and save us from our enemies.”So the people sent men to Shiloh to bring back the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, who is enthroned between the cherubim. Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

They set out, went to Bethel, and inquired of God. The Israelites asked,“ Who is to go first to fight for us against the Benjaminites?” And the LORD answered,“ Judah will be first.”

He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he resided among mankind.He gave up his strength to captivity and his splendor to the hand of a foe.

“‘ But return to my place that was at Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first. See what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel.

Indeed, the LORD’s arm is not too weak to save, and his ear is not too deaf to hear.

They went up, wept before the LORD until evening, and inquired of him,“ Should we again attack our brothers the Benjaminites?” And the LORD answered,“ Fight against them.”

He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the LORD for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”
