Names of God Bible

² The Philistines organized their troops to meet Israel in battle. As the battle spread,^[a] the Philistines defeated Israel and killed about 4,000 soldiers in the field.

³ When the troops came back to the camp, the leaders of Israel asked, “Why has Yahweh used the Philistines to defeat us today? Let’s get the ark of Yahweh’s promise from Shiloh so that he may be with us and save us from our enemies.” ⁴ The troops sent some men who brought back the ark of the promise of Yahweh Tsebaoth—who is enthroned over the angels.^[b] Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, came along with Elohim’s ark.
