And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 4 of 1 Samuel. The death of Phinehas’s wife during childbirth culminates the tragedy with the name she gives her son: Ichabod, associated with the departure of Israel’s glory. For her, the loss of the ark represents a national catastrophe even greater than the deaths of her husband and father-in-law. The episode expresses the perception that Israel has suffered spiritual humiliation. At the same time, it prepares the next narrative movement, where the ark will demonstrate that God has not lost his power even though Israel has been defeated.
