In context

When she heard the news that the ark of God had been captured and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, overcome by her pains. 20As she was dying, the women attending her said, “Do not be afraid — you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention. 21She named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel” — because of the capture of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 22She said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”
