Matthew Henry · Verses 10–11
The taking of the ark was a great judgment upon Israel, and a certain token of God's displeasure. Let none think to shelter themselves from the wrath of God, under the cloak of outward profession.
1 Samuel 4:11
God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
