이스라엘이 에벤에셀 곁에 진 치고 블레셋 사람 앞에서 패함

1 Samuel 4:1–2: the word of Samuel comes to all Israel. Israel goes out against the Philistines to battle, and encamps beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamp in Aphek. The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they join battle, Israel is defeated by the Philistines, who kill about four thousand men of the army in the field.
