"His priests fell by the sword; this refers to Hophni and Phinehas. And the Lord awoke as one asleep." Rabbi Berechiah said in the name of Rabbi Elazar: Until the end comes, the Holy One, blessed be He, makes Himself as if He were asleep, and then He will awaken as one who has been asleep. But when the end comes, He will rejoice like a warrior who has had wine."
"And he struck his enemies in the rear." Rabbi Yitzchak bar Mariyon said: "The sword of the Holy One, blessed be He, has sixteen faces, as it is stated (Ezekiel 21:21): 'Unite the right, turn to the left, wherever your face is set.' Unite [them] - four; the right - four; the left - four; and the back - four. Thus, [there are] sixteen [faces]."
