By the way, no one guessed this, so I'll just say the answer. The woman who died in childbirth is the wife of Pinchas ben Eli. She named her son Ikavod. (you learned this in 6th grade in Shmuel Aleph)

Eh. That's a stretch.
She didn't name her son about the sadness of dying in childbirth.
She named him that because of the Aron being taken captive.

You're right. I believe I wrote that she named her son for the tragedy. I didn't say which tragedy. I only meant that the name of the child reflected the events surrounding his birth.
The original question just asked who died in childbirth.
Yes. It's the haftarah of lech lecha. Coming up.
The real passuk is
Ish es reieihu yaazoru uleachiv yomar chazak
So funny that you asked about this.
Several years ago the Agudah used this possuk as the theme for their convention. I asked how it could be, since the context is that they're strengthening each other to do avodah Zora (surprise!). I didn't really get an answer, but then they changed the theme to a different posuk (seemingly unrelated to my request)
A few weeks later I read in the Yated? Hamodia? an article about one of the Gerrer Rebbes who also used this possuk as a way to be mechazek the klal. In his case, however there was an acknowledgement of the original context. The explanation (which I don't actually remember at the moment) did make sense, something about transforming tactics and rationales used for aveiros and harnessing it for mitzvos. There was much more that I sadly don't remember.
After reading that I allowed the song to be played in my home... (before that I would just cringe)
