World English Bible Classic
[1] The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took Yahweh’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep Yahweh’s ark. [2] From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh. [3] Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.” [4] Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only. [5] Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.” [6] They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah. [7] When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. [8] The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t stop crying to Yahweh our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.” [9] Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Samuel cried to Yahweh for Israel, and Yahweh answered him. [10] As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel. [11] The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar. [12] Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer,ⓘ saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.” [13] So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. Yahweh’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. [14] The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites. [15] Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. [16] He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places. [17] His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to Yahweh there.

[1] And the menH582 of KirjathjearimH7157 came,H935(QalImpf) and fetched upH5927(HiphImpf) the arkH727 of the Lord,H3068 and broughtH935(HiphImpf) it into the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41 in the hill,H1389 and sanctifiedH6942(PielPerf) EleazarH499 his sonH1121 to keepH8104(QalInf) the arkH727 of the Lord.H3068 [2] And it came to pass, whileH3117 the arkH727 abodeH3427(QalInf) in Kirjathjearim,H7157 that the timeH3117 was long;H7235(QalImpf) for it was twentyH6242 years:H8141 and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 lamentedH5091(NiphImpf) afterH310 the Lord.H3068 [3] And SamuelH8050 spakeH559(QalImpf) unto all the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 saying,H559(QalInf) If ye do returnH7725(QalActPtc) unto the LordH3068 with all your hearts,H3824 [then] put awayH5493(HiphImpv) the strangeH5236 godsH430 and AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and prepareH3559(HiphImpv) your heartsH3824 unto the Lord,H3068 and serveH5647(QalImpv) him only: and he will deliverH5337(HiphImpf) you out of the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430 [4] Then the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did put awayH5493(HiphImpf) BaalimH1168 and Ashtaroth,H6252 and servedH5647(QalImpf) the LordH3068 only. [5] And SamuelH8050 said,H559(QalImpf) GatherH6908(QalImpv) all IsraelH3478 to Mizpeh,H4708 and I will prayH6419(HithImpf) for you unto the Lord.H3068 [6] And they gathered togetherH6908(NiphImpf) to Mizpeh,H4709 and drewH7579(QalImpf) water,H4325 and poured [it] outH8210(QalImpf) beforeH6440 the Lord,H3068 and fastedH6684(QalImpf) on that day,H3117 and saidH559(QalImpf) there, We have sinnedH2398(QalPerf) against the Lord.H3068 And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199(QalImpf) the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in Mizpeh.H4708 [7] And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085(QalImpf) that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH6908(HithPerf) to Mizpeh,H4708 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 went upH5927(QalImpf) against Israel.H3478 And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085(QalImpf) [it], they were afraidH3372(QalImpf) ofH6440 the Philistines.H6430 [8] And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559(QalImpf) to Samuel,H8050 CeaseH2790(HiphImpf) not to cryH2199(QalInf) unto the LordH3068 our GodH430 for us, that he will saveH3467(HiphImpf) us out of the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430 [9] And SamuelH8050 tookH3947(QalImpf) aH259 suckingH2461 lamb,H2924 and offeredH5927(HiphImpf) [it for] a burnt offeringH5930 whollyH3632 unto the Lord:H3068 and SamuelH8050 criedH2199(QalImpf) unto the LordH3068 for Israel;H3478 and the LordH3068 heardH6030(QalImpf) him. [10] And as SamuelH8050 was offering upH5927(HiphPtc) the burnt offering,H5930 the PhilistinesH6430 drew nearH5066(NiphPerf) to battleH4421 against Israel:H3478 but the LordH3068 thunderedH7481(HiphImpf) with a greatH1419 thunderH6963 on that dayH3117 upon the Philistines,H6430 and discomfitedH2000(QalImpf) them; and they were smittenH5062(NiphImpf) beforeH6440 Israel.H3478 [11] And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318(QalImpf) of Mizpeh,H4709 and pursuedH7291(QalImpf) the Philistines,H6430 and smoteH5221(HiphImpf) them, until [they came] under Bethcar.H1033 [12] Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947(QalImpf) aH259 stone,H68 and setH7760(QalImpf) [it] between MizpehH4709 and Shen,H8129 and calledH7121(QalImpf) the nameH8034 of it Ebenezer,H72 saying,H559(QalImpf) Hitherto hath the LordH3068 helpedH5826(QalPerf) us. [13] So the PhilistinesH6430 were subdued,H3665(NiphImpf) and they cameH935(QalInf) no moreH3254(QalPerf) into the coastH1366 of Israel:H3478 and the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was against the PhilistinesH6430 all the daysH3117 of Samuel.H8050 [14] And the citiesH5892 which the PhilistinesH6430 had takenH3947(QalPerf) from IsraelH3478 were restoredH7725(QalImpf) to Israel,H3478 from EkronH6138 even unto Gath;H1661 and the coastsH1366 thereof did IsraelH3478 deliverH5337(HiphPerf) out of the handsH3027 of the Philistines.H6430 And there was peaceH7965 between IsraelH3478 and the Amorites.H567 [15] And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199(QalImpf) IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of his life.H2416 [16] And he wentH1980(QalPerf) fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 in circuitH5437(QalPerf) to Bethel,H1008 and Gilgal,H1537 and Mizpeh,H4709 and judgedH8199(QalPerf) IsraelH3478 in all those places.H4725 [17] And his returnH8666 [was] to Ramah;H7414 for there [was] his house;H1004 and there he judgedH8199(QalPerf) Israel;H3478 and there he builtH1129(QalImpf) an altarH4196 unto the Lord.H3068
