And when she hearde the tydinges that the arcke of God was taken, & that her father in lawe, & her husbande were deed, she bowed her self, and traueled, for her paynes came vpon her. ²⁰ And about the tyme of her deeth, the wemen that stode aboute her, sayd vnto her: feare not, for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it. ²¹ And she named the childe Ichabod, sayinge: The glory is departed from Israel.
