1 Samuel 4:21

1Sa 4:21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

Ver. 21. And she named the child Ichabod, ] i.e., Inglorious, a as Josephus interpreteth it. Now no glory, because no ark. b

And because of her father-in-law, &c. ] She was not without natural affection, but her spiritual affections prevailed. Hence, the comment on the next verse.

a Aδοξος .

b Fuit Ilium et ingens gloria Teucrorum.
