SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:10
¶ Pelearon, pues , los filisteos, e Israel fue vencido, y huyeron cada cual a sus tiendas; y fue hecha muy grande mortandad, pues cayeron de Israel treinta mil hombres de a pie.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And the Philistines fought , etc.] With great ardour and spirit, quitted themselves like men of valour and courage, their case being desperate as they imagined, since God was in the camp of Israel: and Israel was smitten : were routed and beaten: and they fled every man into his tent ; such of them as escaped the sword of the Philistines fled to their own houses in the several cities from whence they came; so the Targum, “every man to his city” so that their army was quite broken up: and there was a very great slaughter far greater than in the first battle: For there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen ; their army chiefly, if not altogether, consisting of footmen, there being few horses in Israel; and if any cavalry now, these may be supposed to flee; before they lost only 4000, now 30,000; so that the ark was no security to them, which was suffered, to show their vain trust and confidence in it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10, 11 - The taking of the ark was a great judgment upon Israel, and a certai token of God's displeasure. Let none think to shelter themselves from the wrath of God, under the cloak of outward profession.
