1SA-7:1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the
ark of the
LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and
sanctified
Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
1SA-7:2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in
Kirjathjearim, that the
time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of
Israel lamented
after the LORD.
1SA-7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying,
If ye do
return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the
strange gods
and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the
LORD, and serve
him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the
Philistines.
1SA-7:4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and
Ashtaroth, and
served the LORD only.
1SA-7:5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I
will pray for you
unto the LORD.
1SA-7:6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water,
and poured [it]
out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We
have sinned
against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in
Mizpeh.
1SA-7:7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of
Israel were
gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went
up against
Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were
afraid of the
Philistines.
1SA-7:8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to
cry unto the
LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the
Philistines.
1SA-7:9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a
burnt offering
wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel;
and the LORD
heard him.
1SA-7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the
Philistines
drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with
a great
thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them;
and they were
smitten before Israel.
1SA-7:11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued
the
Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Bethcar.
1SA-7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh
and Shen, and
called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD
helped us.
1SA-7:13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more
into the
coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the
Philistines all the
days of Samuel.
1SA-7:14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from
Israel were
restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts
thereof did
Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there
was peace
between Israel and the Amorites.
1SA-7:15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
1SA-7:16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel,
and Gilgal, and
Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
1SA-7:17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his
house; and there
he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
