1 Samuel 7:3-13

3And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye return to Jehovah with all your heart, put away the strange 1gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and apply your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4And the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths and served Jehovah only.

5And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray Jehovah for you.

6And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

7And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah; and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel; and the children of Israel heard [it], and were afraid of the Philistines.

8And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to Jehovah our 2God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

9And Samuel took a sucking-lamb, and offered it as a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah; and Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.

10And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel.

11And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.

12And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto Jehovah has helped us.

13And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
