1 Samuel 4:18

Nang nabanggit niya ang kaban ng Diyos, natumba patalikod si Eli mula sa kanyang upuan sa gilid ng tarangkahan. Nabali ang kanyang leeg, at namatay siya, dahil matanda na siya at mabigat. Naging hukom siya ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon.

And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
