1 Samuel 4:18: When he made mention of the ark of God, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
"Israel before their foes are fled!"
Composed the tidings he receives:
Whole troops; and both thy sons are dead!"
He hears the fatal news, and lives:
"The ark is taken by the foe,
And God doth with His ark depart!"
This, this inflicts the mortal blow.
And breaks his trembling, faithful heart.
