SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:20
Y al tiempo que se moría, le decían las que estaban junto a ella: No tengas temor, porque has dado a luz un hijo. Mas ella no respondió, ni paró atención.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 4:20
Verse 20. But she answered not] She paid no attention to what the women had said concerning her having borne a son; that information she regarded not.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And about the time of her death , etc.] Which quickly came on after she was brought to bed: the women that stood by her ; who were called to her labour, and assisted at it: said unto her, fear not, for thou hast born a son ; perceiving that she was very low spirited, endeavoured to cheer and comfort her, by observing to her that the worst was over; and besides she had brought forth a man child, which was usually matter of joy to a family, and particularly to the woman that bears it, which causes her to forget the sorrows and pains she has gone through in bearing it, ( John 16:21) but she answered not, neither did she regard it; said not one word in answer to them, nor was the least affected with joy and pleasure at what they related to her; being not only a dying woman, on the borders of another world, and so had no relish for temporal enjoyments, but also overcome with grief with what had happened, not only to her family, but more especially to the ark of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-22 - The wife of Phinehas seems to have been a person of piety. Her dyin regret was for the loss of the ark, and the departure of the glory from Israel. What is any earthly joy to her that feels herself dying? No jo but that which is spiritual and divine, will stand in any stead then death is too serious a thing to admit the relish of any earthly joy What is it to one that is lamenting the loss of the ark? What pleasur can we take in our creature comforts and enjoyments, if we want God' word and ordinances; especially if we want the comfort of his graciou presence, and the light of his countenance? If God go, the glory goes and all good goes. Woe unto us if he depart! But though the glory is withdrawn from one sinful nation, city, or village after another, ye it shall never depart altogether, but shines forth in one place when eclipsed in another __________________________________________________________________
