The idea of the Ark of the Covenant is so different for us as New Testament Christians. To think that God's dwelling was identified and confined to a place is so weird. Either way it must have been tragic when the ark was captured. To think that your source of God's presence and your enemies stole it.
It makes me think of revival high school stealing a mascot, but the reality is that this is much more serious. So serious that it killed Eli. In 4:14 Eli asked what all the noise was about. The messenger told him what had happened and Eli fell backwards, broke his neck, and died. Crazy stuff!
