[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.

Samuel Rules Israel

[3] And Samuel H8050 spake H559 unto H413 all H3605 the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 If ye do return H7725 unto H413 the Lord H3068 with all your hearts, H3824 then put away H5493 the strange H5236 H853 gods H430 and Ashtaroth H6252 from among H8432 you, and prepare H3559 your hearts H3824 unto H413 the Lord, H3068 and serve H5647 him only: and he will deliver H5337 you out of the hand H3027 of the Philistines. H6430 [4] Then the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did put away H5493 H853 Baalim H1168 and Ashtaroth, H6252 and served H5647 H853 the Lord H3068 only. [5] And Samuel H8050 said, H559 Gather H6908 all H3605 Israel H3478 to Mizpeh, H4708 and I will pray H6419 for you unto the Lord. H3068 [6] And they gathered together H6908 to Mizpeh, H4709 and drew H7579 water, H4325 and poured it out H8210 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 and fasted H6684 on that day, H3117 and said H559 there, We have sinned H2398 against the Lord. H3068 And Samuel H8050 judged H8199 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in Mizpeh. H4708 [7] And when the Philistines H6430 heard H8085 that the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were gathered together H6908 to Mizpeh, H4708 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 went up H5927 against Israel. H3478 And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 it, they were afraid H3372 of H6440 the Philistines. H6430 [8] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 said H559 to Samuel, H8050 Cease H2790 not H408 to cry H2199§ unto H413 the Lord H3068 our God H430 for us, that he will save H3467 us out of the hand H3027 of the Philistines. H6430 [9] And Samuel H8050 took H3947 a H259 sucking H2461 lamb, H2924 and offered H5927 it for a burnt offering H5930 wholly H3632 unto the Lord: H3068 and Samuel H8050 cried H2199 unto the Lord H3068 for Israel; H3478 and the Lord H3068 heard H6030§ him. [10] And as Samuel H8050 was offering up H5927 the burnt offering, H5930 the Philistines H6430 drew near H5066 to battle H4421 against Israel: H3478 but the Lord H3068 thundered H7481 with a great H1419 thunder H6963 on that day H3117 upon the Philistines, H6430 and discomfited H2000 them; and they were smitten H5062 before H6440 Israel. H3478 [11] And the men H582 of Israel H3478 went out H3318 of Mizpeh, H4709 and pursued H7291 H853 the Philistines, H6430 and smote H5221 them, until they came under Beth-car. H1033 [12] Then Samuel H8050 took H3947 a H259 stone, H68 and set H7760 it between Mizpeh H4709 and Shen, H8129 and called H7121 H853 the name H8034 of it Eben-ezer, H72ⓘ saying, H559 Hitherto hath the Lord H3068 helped H5826 us. [13] So the Philistines H6430 were subdued, H3665 and they came H935 no more H3254 into the coast H1366 of Israel: H3478 and the hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 was against the Philistines H6430 all H3605 the days H3117 of Samuel. H8050 [14] And the cities H5892 which H834 the Philistines H6430 had taken H3947 from Israel H3478 were restored H7725 to Israel, H3478 from Ekron H6138 even unto Gath; H1661 and the coasts H1366 thereof did Israel H3478 deliver H5337 out of the hands H3027 of the Philistines. H6430 And there was peace H7965 between H996 Israel H3478 and the Amorites. H567 [15] And Samuel H8050 judged H8199 H853 Israel H3478 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416 [16] And he went H1980 from H1767 year H8141 to year H8141 in circuit H5437§ to Beth-el, H1008 and Gilgal, H1537 and Mizpeh, H4709 and judged H8199 H853 Israel H3478 in all those places. H4725 [17] And his return H8666 was to Ramah; H7414 for there was his house; H1004 and there he judged H8199 H853 Israel; H3478 and there he built H1129 an altar H4196 unto the Lord. H3068
