3 And|strong="H3478" Samuel|strong="H8050" spake|strong="H3068" unto|strong="H7725" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Israel|strong="H3478", saying, If ye|strong="H7725" do|strong="H5647" return|strong="H7725" unto|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" with|strong="H1004" all|strong="H3605" your|strong="H3068" heart|strong="H3824", then|strong="H7725" put|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493" the|strong="H3605" strange|strong="H5236" gods and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" Ashtaroth|strong="H6252" from|strong="H7725" among|strong="H8432" you|strong="H3605", and|strong="H3478" prepare|strong="H3559" your|strong="H3068" hearts|strong="H3824" unto|strong="H7725" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3478" serve|strong="H5647" him|strong="H3027" only|strong="H3605": and|strong="H3478" he|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" deliver|strong="H5337" you|strong="H3605" out|strong="H5337" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430".
4 Then|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5647" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" did|strong="H3478" put|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493" the|strong="H5647" Baalim|strong="H1168" and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5647" Ashtaroth|strong="H6252", and|strong="H1121" served|strong="H5647" the|strong="H5647" LORD|strong="H3068" only.
5 And|strong="H3478" Samuel|strong="H8050" said, Gather|strong="H6908" all|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H3478" to|strong="H3478" Mizpah|strong="H4709", and|strong="H3478" I|strong="H3478" will|strong="H3068" pray|strong="H6419" for|strong="H1157" you|strong="H3605" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068".
6 And|strong="H1121" they|strong="H3117" gathered|strong="H6908" together|strong="H6908" to|strong="H3478" Mizpah|strong="H4709", and|strong="H1121" drew|strong="H7579" water|strong="H4325", and|strong="H1121" poured|strong="H8210" it|strong="H1931" out|strong="H8210" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068", and|strong="H1121" fasted|strong="H6684" on|strong="H3117" that|strong="H3117" day|strong="H3117", and|strong="H1121" said there|strong="H8033", We|strong="H3117" have|strong="H3068" sinned|strong="H2398" against|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068".

7 And|strong="H1121" when|strong="H3588" the|strong="H6440" Philistines|strong="H6430" heard|strong="H8085" that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H6440" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" were|strong="H3478" gathered|strong="H6908" together|strong="H6908" to|strong="H3478" Mizpah|strong="H4709", the|strong="H6440" lords|strong="H5633" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" Philistines|strong="H6430" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" against|strong="H6440" Israel|strong="H3478". And|strong="H1121" when|strong="H3588" the|strong="H6440" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" heard|strong="H8085" it|strong="H3588", they|strong="H3588" were|strong="H3478" afraid|strong="H3372" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" Philistines|strong="H6430".
8 And|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3068" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" said|strong="H2790" to|strong="H3478" Samuel|strong="H8050", Cease|strong="H2790" not|strong="H2790" to|strong="H3478" cry|strong="H2199" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068" for|strong="H3027" us|strong="H3027", that|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" save|strong="H3467" us|strong="H3027" out|strong="H2199" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3068" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3068" Philistines|strong="H6430".
9 And|strong="H3478" Samuel|strong="H8050" took|strong="H3947" a|strong="H3068" sucking|strong="H2461" lamb|strong="H2924", and|strong="H3478" offered|strong="H5927" it|strong="H5927" for|strong="H1157" a|strong="H3068" whole|strong="H3632" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H5930" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3947" LORD|strong="H3068": and|strong="H3478" Samuel|strong="H8050" cried|strong="H2199" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3947" LORD|strong="H3068" for|strong="H1157" Israel|strong="H3478"; and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3947" LORD|strong="H3068" answered|strong="H6030" him|strong="H3947".
10 And|strong="H3478" as|strong="H3117" Samuel|strong="H8050" was|strong="H3068" offering|strong="H5930" up|strong="H5927" the|strong="H6440" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H5930", the|strong="H6440" Philistines|strong="H6430" drew|strong="H5066" near|strong="H5066" to|strong="H3478" battle|strong="H4421" against|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478": but|strong="H1961" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" thundered|strong="H7481" with|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" thunder|strong="H6963" on|strong="H5921" that|strong="H3117" day|strong="H3117" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" Philistines|strong="H6430", and|strong="H3478" discomfited|strong="H2000" them|strong="H5921"; and|strong="H3478" they|strong="H3117" were|strong="H3478" smitten|strong="H5062" down|strong="H5062" before|strong="H6440" Israel|strong="H3478".
11 And|strong="H3478" the|strong="H5221" men|strong="H3478" of|strong="H4480" Israel|strong="H3478" went|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H4480" Mizpah|strong="H4709", and|strong="H3478" pursued|strong="H7291" the|strong="H5221" Philistines|strong="H6430", and|strong="H3478" smote|strong="H5221" them|strong="H5221", until|strong="H5704" they|strong="H5704" came|strong="H3318" under|strong="H8478" Beth-car|strong="H1033".
12 Then|strong="H3947" Samuel|strong="H8050" took|strong="H3947" a|strong="H3068" stone, and|strong="H3068" set|strong="H7760" it|strong="H7760" between|strong="H5704" Mizpah|strong="H4709" and|strong="H3068" Shen|strong="H8129", and|strong="H3068" called|strong="H7121" the|strong="H3947" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H3068" it|strong="H7760" Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto|strong="H5704" hath|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3947" LORD|strong="H3068" helped|strong="H5826" us|strong="H7760".
13 So|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430" were|strong="H3478" subdued|strong="H3665", and|strong="H3478" they|strong="H3117" came|strong="H1961" no|strong="H3808" more|strong="H3254" within|strong="H5750" the|strong="H3605" border|strong="H1366" of|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478": and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" against|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" days|strong="H3117" of|strong="H3068" Samuel|strong="H8050".
14 And|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3947" cities|strong="H5892" which|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3947" Philistines|strong="H6430" had|strong="H1961" taken|strong="H3947" from|strong="H7725" Israel|strong="H3478" were|strong="H3478" restored|strong="H7725" to|strong="H5704" Israel|strong="H3478", from|strong="H7725" Ekron|strong="H6138" even|strong="H5704" unto|strong="H7725" Gath|strong="H1661"; and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3947" border|strong="H1366" thereof|strong="H5892" did|strong="H3478" Israel|strong="H3478" deliver|strong="H5337" out|strong="H3947" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3947" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3947" Philistines|strong="H6430". And|strong="H3478" there|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" peace|strong="H7965" between|strong="H7965" Israel|strong="H3478" and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3947" Amorites.
15 And|strong="H3478" Samuel|strong="H8050" judged|strong="H8199" Israel|strong="H3478" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" days|strong="H3117" of|strong="H3117" his|strong="H3605" life|strong="H2416".
16 And|strong="H1980" he|strong="H3605" went|strong="H1980" from|strong="H3478" year|strong="H8141" to|strong="H1980" year|strong="H8141" in|strong="H8141" circuit|strong="H5437" to|strong="H1980" Beth-el|strong="H1008", and|strong="H1980" Gilgal|strong="H1537", and|strong="H1980" Mizpah|strong="H4709"; and|strong="H1980" he|strong="H3605" judged|strong="H8199" Israel|strong="H3478" in|strong="H8141" all|strong="H3605" those|strong="H3605" places|strong="H4725".
