Ichabod

Ichabod (Hebrew: איכבוד, ʼĪḵāḇōḏ; "Name means::no glory") (b. Born::1 Bul 2883 AM) was the younger son of Phinehas, son of Eli, one of two brothers killed while carrying the ark of the covenant into battle. 

On or about, Hophni and Phinehas, at the request of the elders of Israel, carried the ark of the covenant into a major battlefield. Israel had recently suffered a humiliating defeat by the Philistines, with four thousand casualties. 

Then an escapee from the battlefield brought back a shocking report: Hophni and Phinehas were dead, along with thirty thousand Israelites, and the ark of the covenant had been captured. 

When Phinehas' wife heard the news, she went into premature labor. She bore a son and died in childbirth. Before she died, the midwives told her that she had a son, but she paid no attention. Then she named the boy Ichabod, meaning "no glory," and further said,

Today Ichabod is sometimes a metaphor for great projects, including church building, that go wrong when the project leaders forget the mission.
