1 Samuel 7:8-9

MLV(i) 8 And the sons of Israel said to Samuel, Do not cease to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Jehovah. And Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel and Jehovah answered him.
