1 Samuel 4:17-22

17 He who brought the news answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great defeat among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.” 18 As soon as he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward ^afrom his seat by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

19 Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, ^b“Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention. 21 And she named the child ^cIchabod, saying, ^d“The glory has departed ^{▼▼Or gone into exile; also verse 22} from Israel!” because ^fthe ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, ^gfor the ark of God has been captured.”

Ezra 10:1

Psalms 69:9-10

9 For ^lzeal for your house has consumed me,
and ^mthe reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks and humbled} my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.

Psalms 102:13-14

13 You will ^oarise and have ^ppity on Zion;
it is the time to favor her;
^qthe appointed time has come.
14 For your servants hold her ^rstones dear
and have pity on her dust.

Psalms 137:1

there we sat down and wept,
when we remembered Zion.
