1 H582 The men H7157 of Kiriath Jearim H935 came, H5927 and fetched up H727 the ark H3068 of Yahweh, H935 and brought H1004 it into the house H41 of Abinadab H1389 in the hill, H6942 and sanctified H499 Eleazar H1121 his son H8104 to keep H727 the ark H3068 of Yahweh.

2 H3117 It happened, from the day H727 that the ark H3427 stayed H7157 in Kiriath Jearim, H3117 that the time H7235 was long; H6242 for it was twenty H8141 years: H1004 and all the house H3478 of Israel H5091 lamented H310 after H3068 Yahweh.

3 H8050 Samuel H559 spoke H1004 to all the house H3478 of Israel, H559 saying, H7725 "If you do return H3068 to Yahweh H3824 with all your heart, H5493 then put away H5236 the foreign H430 gods H6252 and the Ashtaroth H8432 from among H3559 you, and direct H3824 your hearts H3068 to Yahweh, H5647 and serve H5337 him only; and he will deliver H3027 you out of the hand H6430 of the Philistines."

4 H1121 Then the children H3478 of Israel H5493 removed H1168 the Baals H6252 and the Ashtaroth, H5647 and served H3068 Yahweh only.

5 H8050 Samuel H559 said, H6908 "Gather H3478 all Israel H4708 to Mizpah, H6419 and I will pray H3068 for you to Yahweh."

6 H6908 They gathered together H4709 to Mizpah, H7579 and drew H4325 water, H8210 and poured it out H6440 before H3068 Yahweh, H6684 and fasted H3117 on that day, H559 and said H2398 there, "We have sinned H3068 against Yahweh." H8050 Samuel H8199 judged H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H4708 in Mizpah.

7 H6430 When the Philistines H8085 heard H1121 that the children H3478 of Israel H6908 were gathered together H4708 at Mizpah, H5633 the lords H6430 of the Philistines H5927 went up H3478 against Israel. H1121 When the children H3478 of Israel H8085 heard H3372 it, they were afraid H6440 of H6430 the Philistines.

8 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H559 said H8050 to Samuel, H2790 "Don't cease H2199 to cry H3068 to Yahweh H430 our God H3467 for us, that he will save H3027 us out of the hand H6430 of the Philistines."

9 H8050 Samuel H3947 took H259 a H2461 suckling H2924 lamb, H5927 and offered H3632 it for a whole H5930 burnt offering H3068 to Yahweh: H8050 and Samuel H2199 cried H3068 to Yahweh H3478 for Israel; H3068 and Yahweh H6030 answered him.

10 H8050 As Samuel H5927 was offering up H5930 the burnt offering, H6430 the Philistines H5066 drew near H4421 to battle H3478 against Israel; H3068 but Yahweh H7481 thundered H1419 with a great H6963 thunder H3117 on that day H6430 on the Philistines, H2000 and confused H5062 them; and they were struck H6440 down before H3478 Israel.

11 H582 The men H3478 of Israel H3318 went out H4709 of Mizpah, H7291 and pursued H6430 the Philistines, H5221 and struck H1033 them, until they came under Beth Kar.

12 H8050 Then Samuel H3947 took H259 a H68 stone, H7760 and set H4709 it between Mizpah H8129 and Shen, H7121 and called H8034 its name H72 Ebenezer, H559 saying, H3068 "Yahweh H5826 helped us until now."

13 H6430 So the Philistines H3665 were subdued, H935 and they came H3254 no more H1366 within the border H3478 of Israel. H3027 The hand H3068 of Yahweh H6430 was against the Philistines H3117 all the days H8050 of Samuel.

14 H5892 The cities H6430 which the Philistines H3947 had taken H3478 from Israel H7725 were restored H3478 to Israel, H6138 from Ekron H1661 even to Gath; H3478 and Israel H5337 recovered H1366 its border H3027 out of the hand H6430 of the Philistines. H7965 There was peace H3478 between Israel H567 and the Amorites.

15 H8050 Samuel H8199 judged H3478 Israel H3117 all the days H2416 of his life.

16 H1980 He went H1767 from H8141 year H8141 to year H5437 in circuit H1008 to Bethel H1537 and Gilgal, H4709 and Mizpah; H8199 and he judged H3478 Israel H4725 in all those places.

17 H8666 His return H7414 was to Ramah, H1004 for there was his house; H8199 and there he judged H3478 Israel: H1129 and he built H4196 there an altar H3068 to Yahweh.
