And this man [Elkanah] went up from his city year after year (literally: "from day to day") [i.e., every appointed day of the Lord (Yahweh) – the three annual feasts of the Lord (Yahweh)], to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of Hosts (Yahweh Sebaot) in Shiloh [15 km north of Bethel, see Josh. 18:1]. Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord (Yahweh) there.
[This is the first time God's name, Lord of Hosts, is used. Yahweh is God's personal name. Sebaoth is the feminine form of the Hebrew word Tsava, which means army, battle, or war. The combination of these two names describes an almighty and all-powerful God.]
And this shall be the sign to them, that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, in one day they shall both die.
So the people sent [messengers] to Shiloh, and they brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord (Yahweh) of hosts, who sits above the cherubim, from there. And Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, accompanied the ark of God (Elohim). [1 Sam. 2:33–34]
And the ark of God (Elohim) was taken, and Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed.
And the one who brought the message answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and they have even struck down your two sons. Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the ark of God (Elohim) has been taken."
