7And 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.H582H7157H935H5927H727H3068H935H1004H41H1389H6942H499H1121H8104H727H30682And 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.H3117H727H3427H7157H3117H7235H6242H8141H1004H3478H5091H310H30683And 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.H8050H559H1004H3478H559H7725H3068H3824H5493H5236H430H6252H8432H3559H3824H3068H5647H5337H3027H64304Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.H1121H3478H5493H1168H6252H5647H30685And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.H8050H559H6908H3478H4708H6419H30686And 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.H6908H4709H7579H4325H8210H6440H3068H6684H3117H559H2398H3068H8050H8199H1121H3478H47087And 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.H6430H8085H1121H3478H6908H4708H5633H6430H5927H3478H1121H3478H8085H3372H6440H64308And 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.H1121H3478H559H8050H2790H2199H3068H430H3467H3027H64309And 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.H8050H3947H259H2461H2924H5927H5930H3632H3068H8050H2199H3068H3478H3068H603010And 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.H8050H5927H5930H6430H5066H4421H3478H3068H7481H1419H6963H3117H6430H2000H5062H6440H347811And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.H582H3478H3318H4709H7291H6430H5221H103312Then 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.H8050H3947H259H68H7760H4709H8129H7121H8034H72H559H3068H582613So 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.H6430H3665H935H3254H1366H3478H3027H3068H6430H3117H805014And 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.H5892H6430H3947H3478H7725H3478H6138H1661H1366H3478H5337H3027H6430H7965H3478H56715And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.H8050H8199H3478H3117H241616And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.H1980H1767H8141H8141H5437H1008H1537H4709H8199H3478H472517And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.H8666H7414H1004H8199H3478H1129H4196H3068
