"His
daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and near
the time of delivery. When she heard the news that
the
ark of God had been captured and that her father-in-law and
her husband were dead,
she went into labor and gave birth, but was overcome by her
labor pains. As she was dying, the women attending her said,
"Don't despair; you have given birth to a son." But she did
not respond or pay any attention.
She named the boy Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel"-because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. She said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."
