1 # And the men <0582> of Kirjathjearim <07157> came <0935> (8799), and fetched up <05927> (8686) the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>, and brought <0935> (8686) it into the house <01004> of Abinadab <041> in the hill <01389> , and sanctified <06942> (8765) Eleazar <0499> his son <01121> to keep <08104> (8800) the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>.
2 And it came to pass, while <03117> the ark <0727> abode <03427> (8800) in Kirjathjearim <07157>, that the time <03117> was long <07235> (8799); for it was twenty <06242> years <08141>: and all the house <01004> of Israel <03478> lamented <05091> (8735) after <0310> the LORD <03068>.
3 # And Samuel <08050> spake <0559> (8799) unto all the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559> (8800), If ye do return <07725> (8802) unto the LORD <03068> with all your hearts <03824>, then put away <05493> (8685) the strange <05236> gods <0430> and Ashtaroth <06252> from among <08432> you, and prepare <03559> (8685) your hearts <03824> unto the LORD <03068>, and serve <05647> (8798) him only: and he will deliver <05337> (8686) you out of the hand <03027> of the Philistines <06430>.
4 Then the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did put away <05493> (8686) Baalim <01168> and Ashtaroth <06252> , and served <05647> (8799) the LORD <03068> only.
5 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799), Gather <06908> (8798) all Israel <03478> to Mizpeh <04708> , and I will pray <06419> (8691) for you unto the LORD <03068>.
6 And they gathered together <06908> (8735) to Mizpeh <04709>, and drew <07579> (8799) water <04325> , and poured it out <08210> (8799) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and fasted <06684> (8799) on that day <03117> , and said <0559> (8799) there, We have sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068>. And Samuel <08050> judged <08199> (8799) the children <01121> of Israel <03478> in Mizpeh <04708>.
7 # And when the Philistines <06430> heard <08085> (8799) that the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were gathered together <06908> (8694) to Mizpeh <04708>, the lords <05633> of the Philistines <06430> went up <05927> (8799) against Israel <03478>. And when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard <08085> (8799) it, they were afraid <03372> (8799) of <06440> the Philistines <06430>.
8 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) to Samuel <08050>, Cease <02790> (8686) not to cry <02199> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> our God <0430> for us, that he will save <03467> (8686) us out of the hand <03027> of the Philistines <06430>.
9 And Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) a <0259> sucking <02461> lamb <02924>, and offered <05927> (8686) it for a burnt offering <05930> wholly <03632> unto the LORD <03068>: and Samuel <08050> cried <02199> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> for Israel <03478>; and the LORD <03068> heard <06030> (8799) him.
10 And as Samuel <08050> was offering up <05927> (8688) the burnt offering <05930>, the Philistines <06430> drew near <05066> (8738) to battle <04421> against Israel <03478>: but the LORD <03068> thundered <07481> (8686) with a great <01419> thunder <06963> on that day <03117> upon the Philistines <06430>, and discomfited <02000> (8799) them; and they were smitten <05062> (8735) before <06440> Israel <03478>.
11 And the men <0582> of Israel <03478> went out <03318> (8799) of Mizpeh <04709>, and pursued <07291> (8799) the Philistines <06430>, and smote <05221> (8686) them, until they came under Bethcar <01033>.
12 Then Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) a <0259> stone <068>, and set <07760> (8799) it between Mizpeh <04709> and Shen <08129>, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of it Ebenezer <072>, saying <0559> (8799), Hitherto hath the LORD <03068> helped <05826> (8804) us.
13 # So the Philistines <06430> were subdued <03665> (8735), and they came <0935> (8800) no more <03254> (8804) into the coast <01366> of Israel <03478>: and the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was against the Philistines <06430> all the days <03117> of Samuel <08050>.
14 And the cities <05892> which the Philistines <06430> had taken <03947> (8804) from Israel <03478> were restored <07725> (8799) to Israel <03478>, from Ekron <06138> even unto Gath <01661>; and the coasts <01366> thereof did Israel <03478> deliver <05337> (8689) out of the hands <03027> of the Philistines <06430>. And there was peace <07965> between Israel <03478> and the Amorites <0567>.
15 And Samuel <08050> judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478> all the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
16 And he went <01980> (8804) from <01767> year <08141> to year <08141> in circuit <05437> (8804) to Bethel <01008>, and Gilgal <01537>, and Mizpeh <04709>, and judged <08199> (8804) Israel <03478> in all those places <04725>.
17 And his return <08666> was to Ramah <07414>; for there was his house <01004>; and there he judged <08199> (8804) Israel <03478>; and there he built <01129> (8799) an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068>.
