Chapter 4
Back to ChaptersKJV - 1 Samuel 4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. When he talked about God's ark, he accidentally fell backward near the gate, breaking his neck and dying. He was an elderly, heavy man who had ruled Israel for 40 years.
