In context

10So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great—thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell.

11The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

12That same day a Benjamite ran from the battle line all the way to Shiloh, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.

13When he arrived, there was Eli, sitting on his chair beside the road and watching, because his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man entered the city to give a report, the whole city cried out.

14Eli heard the outcry and asked, “Why this commotion?” So the man hurried over and reported to Eli.
