1 Samuel 7:1-6

1And the menH376 of Kiriath-jearimH7157 cameH935 and tookH5927 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 and 1broughtH935 it into the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41 on the hillH1389, and consecratedH6942 EleazarH499 his sonH1121 to keepH8104 the arkH727 of the LordH3068. 2From the dayH3117 that the arkH727 remainedH3427 at Kiriath-jearimH7157, the timeH3117 was longH7235, for it was twentyH6242 yearsH8141; and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 lamentedH5091 afterH310 the LordH3068.

3Then SamuelH8050 spokeH559 to allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “2IfH518 you returnH7725 to the LordH3068 with allH3605 your heartH3824, 3removeH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 and the 4AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you and 5directH3559 your heartsH3824 to the LordH3068 and 6serveH5647 Him aloneH905; and He will deliverH5337 you from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.” 4So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 removedH5493 the BaalsH1168 and the AshtarothH6252 and servedH5647 the LordH3068 aloneH905.

5Then SamuelH8050 saidH559, “GatherH6908 allH3605 IsraelH3478 to 7MizpahH4708 and 8I will prayH6419 to the LordH3068 for you.” 6They gatheredH6908 to MizpahH4709, and drewH7579 waterH4325 and 9pouredH8210 it out beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and 10fastedH6684 on that dayH3117 and saidH559 thereH8033, “11We have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068.” And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at MizpahH4709.
