Verse 14 is found in chapter 4 of 1 Samuel. A messenger arrives at Shiloh with news of the defeat, the deaths of the priests, and the capture of the ark. Eli falls when he hears the news, especially that concerning the ark, showing its central importance in Israel’s religious life. His death closes the period of leadership exercised by his family. The account does not present the tragedy simply as a military defeat, but as the consequence of a deep spiritual and priestly crisis already announced through Samuel.

Und da Eli das laute Schreien hörte, fragte er: Was ist das für ein lautes Getümmel? Da kam der Mann eilend und sagte es Eli an.
Y como Eli oyó el estruendo de la gritería, dijo: ¿Qué estruendo de alboroto es éste? Y aquel hombre vino apriesa, y dio las nuevas a Eli.
Elí oyó el clamor y preguntó: «¿Qué es ese tumulto?». El hombre se apresuró, llegó y le dio la noticia a Elí.
Eli, entendant ces cris, dit: Que signifie ce tumulte? Et aussitôt l'homme vint apporter la nouvelle à Eli.
Ed Eli, udendo il romor delle grida disse: Che vuol dire il romore di questo tumulto? E quell’uomo andò prestamente ad Eli, e gli raccontò la cosa.
E Eli, ouvindo os gritos, disse: Que alvoroço é esse? Então chegou aquele homem apressadamente, e veio, e o anunciou a Eli.
