Ichabod was born to the wife of Phinehas, Eli's son, just as she was dying in childbirth after hearing that the ark of the covenant had been captured by the Philistines and that both her husband and father-in-law had been killed in the same battle. She named the child Ichabod, meaning "no glory," saying that Israel's glory had departed since the ark was gone (1 Samuel 4:19-22).
