In context

7The Philistines were afraid. “The gods have entered their camp!” they said. “Woe to us, for nothing like this has happened before.

8Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

9Take courage and be men, O Philistines! Otherwise, you will serve the Hebrews just as they served you. Now be men and fight!”

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.
