KJV ¹ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

VULC ¹ Et factum est in diebus illis, convenerunt Philisthiim in pugnam : et egressus est Israël obviam Philisthiim in prælium, et castrametatus est juxta lapidem Adjutorii. Porro Philisthiim venerunt in Aphec,

KJV ² And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

VULC ² et instruxerunt aciem contra Israël. Inito autem certamine, terga vertit Israël Philisthæis : et cæsa sunt in illo certamine passim per agros, quasi quatuor millia virorum.

KJV ³ And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

VULC ³ Et reversus est populus ad castra : dixeruntque majores natu de Israël : Quare percussit nos Dominus hodie coram Philisthiim ? afferamus ad nos de Silo arcam fœderis Domini, et veniat in medium nostri, ut salvet nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum.

KJV ⁴ So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

VULC ⁴ Misit ergo populus in Silo, et tulerunt inde arcam fœderis Domini exercituum sedentis super cherubim : erantque duo filii Heli cum arca fœderis Dei, Ophni et Phinees.

KJV ⁵ And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

VULC ⁵ Cumque venisset arca fœderis Domini in castra, vociferatus est omnis Israël clamore grandi, et personuit terra.

KJV ⁶ And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.

VULC ⁶ Et audierunt Philisthiim vocem clamoris, dixeruntque : Quænam est hæc vox clamoris magni in castris Hebræorum ? Et cognoverunt quod arca Domini venisset in castra.

KJV ⁷ And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.

VULC ⁷ Timueruntque Philisthiim, dicentes : Venit Deus in castra. Et ingemuerunt, dicentes :

KJV ⁸ Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

VULC ⁸ Væ nobis : non enim fuit tanta exsultatio heri et nudiustertius : væ nobis. Quis nos salvabit de manu deorum sublimium istorum ? hi sunt dii, qui percusserunt Ægyptum omni plaga in deserto.

KJV ⁹ Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.

VULC ⁹ Confortamini, et estote viri, Philisthiim, ne serviatis Hebræis, sicut et illi servierunt vobis : confortamini, et bellate.
