From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Ichabod
     When the tidings of the disastrous defeat of the Israelites in
     the battle against the Philistines near to Mizpeh were carried
     to Shiloh, the wife of Phinehas "was near to be delivered. And
     when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and
     that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed


     herself and travailed" (1 Sam. 4:19-22). In her great distress
     she regarded not "the women that stood by her," but named the
     child that was born "Ichabod" i.e., no glory, saying, "The glory
     is departed from Isreal;" and with that word on her lips she
     expired.
