SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:22
Dijo pues: Traspasada es la gloria de Israel; porque el arca de Dios fue tomada.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And she said , etc.] Repeating what she had said before, for the confirmation of it, or as correcting what the women had said; and so may be rendered, but she said ; giving her own and only reason for the name of the child: the glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken ; so when the word, worship, and ordinances of God are removed from a people, the glory is gone from them; the God of glory is no more seen among them, who is so glorious in his nature, perfections, and works; and Christ, the Lord of life and glory, is no more held forth unto them in the glories of his person, offices, and grace; and the glorious Gospel of Christ is no more preached unto them, so full of glorious doctrines and promises; and the glorious ordinances of it no more administered: and, when this is the case, the glory is departed from a people; and which is owing to their formality, lukewarmness, unfruitfulness, negligent attendance on the worship of God, contempt of the word and ordinances, and an unbecoming walk and conversation.
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 But though the glory is withdrawn from one sinful nation, city, or village after another, ye it shall never depart altogether, but shines forth in one place when eclipsed in another __________________________________________________________________
