I. SAMUEL 4:18

Tanrı’nın Sandığı’ndan söz edince, Eli koltuğundan geriye doğru kapının yanına düştü; boynu kırıldı ve öldü, çünkü yaşlı bir adamdı ve ağırdı. İsrael’e kırk yıl hükmetmişti.

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.
