Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory, or, There is no glory
The glory: Psalms 26:8, Psalms 78:61, Psalms 78:64, Psalms 106:20, Jeremiah 2:11, Hosea 9:12
Reciprocal: Genesis 35:18 - her soul 1 Samuel 4:18 - when he made 1 Samuel 14:3 - Ichabod's 1 Chronicles 4:9 - I bare him 1 Chronicles 7:23 - because Psalms 63:2 - To see Psalms 89:44 - Thou Isaiah 7:14 - shall call Lamentations 2:1 - the beauty Ezekiel 3:12 - glory Hosea 10:5 - for the glory Zechariah 11:3 - for their Romans 9:4 - and the glory
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she named the child Ichabod,.... Which some render, "where is the glory?" as in the margin of our Bibles; but it signifies "no glory", as Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it; her husband being dead, she gives her child its name; the reason for which name follows:
saying, the glory is departed from Israel: the God of glory, or the glorious Lord, was departed from Israel; the ark, the symbol of his presence, being taken from them, and carried captive by the enemy; see
Psalms 78:61
because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law, and her husband; who were dead; these are the words either of the writer of this book, or, as Abarbinel thinks, of the women that assisted at her labour; who interpreted the name of the child, and suggested what were her intentions in giving this name, which she had only expressed in general terms; the particulars of which they thought fit to give, agreeably to her meaning, as they supposed; which were the taking of the ark, and the death of her father-in-law, and of her husband; but according to the same writer she before her death corrected the sense they put upon her intention in thus naming the child; showing that it was not on the account of the death of her father and husband that she supposed the glory to be departed, and therefore named her child Ichabod: but solely and alone because the ark was taken, as in the next verse.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Is departed - Properly, “Is gone into captivity.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 4:21. She named the child I-chabod — The versions are various on the original words כבוד I-chabod; the Septuagint, ουαιβαρχαβωθ ouaibrachaboth; the Syriac, [Syriac] yochobor; the Arabic, [Arabic] yochabad. But none of these give us much light on the subject. It is pretty evident they did not know well what signification to give the name; and we are left to collect its meaning from what she says afterwards, The glory is departed from Israel; the words literally mean, Where is the glory? And indeed where was it, when the armies of Israel were defeated by the Philistines, the priests slain, the supreme magistrate dead, and the ark of the Lord taken?
THIS is a very eventful, interesting, and affecting chapter, and prepares the reader for those signal manifestations of God's power and providence by which the ark was restored, the priesthood re-established, an immaculate judge given to Israel, the Philistine yoke broken, and the people of the Most High caused once more to triumph. God humbled them that he might exalt them; he suffered his glory for a time to become eclipsed, that he might afterwards cause it to break out with the greater effulgence.
