1 Samuel 4:20

And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.

Cross-references

Genesis 35:18 describes Rachel dying in childbirth and naming her son — a direct parallel to this mother naming Ichabod as she dies.

Job 14:21 says the dead are unaware of their children's fate — similar to this dying mother not responding to news of her son.

John 16:21 describes the joy after childbirth — in stark contrast, this mother dies without experiencing that joy.
