This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

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} Aäïîïò .

{b} Fuit Ilium et ingens gloria Teucrorum.
