1
And the men
of Kiriath-jearim
came
and took
the ark
of the LORD
and brought
it into the house
of Abinadab
on the hill,
and consecrated
Eleazar
his son
to keep
the ark
of the LORD
.
2
From the day
that the ark
remained
at Kiriath-jearim,
the time
was long,
for it was twenty
years;
and all
the house
of Israel
lamented
after
the LORD.
3
Then Samuel
spoke
to all
the house
of Israel,
saying,
"If
you return
to the LORD
with all
your heart,
remove
the foreign
gods
and the Ashtaroth
from among
you and direct
your hearts
to the LORD
and serve
Him alone;
and He will deliver
you from the hand
of the Philistines."
4
So the sons
of Israel
removed
the Baals
and the Ashtaroth
and served
the LORD
alone.
5
Then Samuel
said,
"Gather
all
Israel
to Mizpah
and I will pray
to the LORD
for you."
6
They gathered
to Mizpah,
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 sons
of Israel
at Mizpah.
7
Now when the Philistines
heard
that the sons
of Israel
had gathered
to Mizpah,
the lords
of the Philistines
went
up against
Israel.
And when the sons
of Israel
heard
it, they were afraid
of the Philistines
.
8
Then the sons
of Israel
said
to Samuel,
"Do not cease
to cry
to the LORD
our God
for us, that He may save
us from the hand
of the Philistines."
9
Samuel
took
a suckling
lamb
and offered
it for a whole
burnt offering
to the LORD
;
and
Samuel
cried
to the LORD
for Israel
and the LORD
answered
him.
10
Now Samuel
was offering
up the burnt offering,
and
the Philistines
drew near
to battle
against
Israel.
But the LORD
thundered
with a great
thunder
on that day
against
the Philistines
and confused
them, so that they were routed
before
Israel.
11
The men
of Israel
went
out of Mizpah
and pursued
the Philistines,
and struck them down
as far
as below
Beth-car.
12
Then Samuel
took
a stone
and set
it between
Mizpah
and Shen,
and named
it Ebenezer,
saying,
"Thus
far
the LORD
has helped
us."
13
So the Philistines
were subdued
and they did
not come
anymore
within the border
of Israel.
And the hand
of the LORD
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
delivered
their territory
from the hand
of
the Philistines
.
So there was peace
between
Israel
and the Amorites.
15
Now Samuel
judged
Israel
all
the days
of his life.
16
He used to go
annually
on circuit
to Bethel
and Gilgal
and Mizpah,
and he judged
Israel
in all
these
places.
17
Then his return
was to Ramah,
for his house
was
there
,
and
there
he judged
Israel;
and he built
there
an altar
to the LORD.
