Summary

Ichabod was a man in the Bible who was known for his name, which meant "the glory has departed." He was a descendant of Eli and a priest in the days of King Saul. According to the First Book of Samuel, when the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines, the news reached Ichabod, and he was afraid. He later learned that both his father-in-law, Eli, and Eli's two sons had been killed in battle, and he concluded that God's glory had indeed departed from Israel. The birth of Samuel was seen as a new hope for the future of Israel, but Ichabod's name symbolized the loss of the glory that had once been present in the land.
