Verse from 1 Samuel

“她说：“荣耀已经离开了以色列，因为神的约柜被抢去了。””

‭‭撒母耳记上‬ ‭4:22‬ ‭

“So she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, because the ark of God has been taken.””

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭4:22‬ ‭

First Samuel 4 tells an interesting narrative of the Israelites failing to consult God in critical times. In the beginning of the chapter, they were “defeated by the Philistines” (v. 2), which prompted the suggestion to take the ark of the covenant into battle (v. 3) without consulting with God. Not only did the elders suggest this, but Eli’s two sons were with the ark (vv. 3–4). 

They displayed a continued disinterest in God’s commands by taking the ark without consulting Him, and their choice resulted in their deaths (v. 11).
