See those of a similar character with this verse: Gen 35:18, where Rachel, while dying, names her new-born son Ben-oni, or, the son of my sorrow. So in Sa1 4:21, the wife of Phinehas, on being apprised of the death of Eli and her husband, and that the ark was taken by the Philistines, while in the pains of travail, and dying, named her son I-chabod, or, there is no glory.
