1 Samuel 7:12-17

12Then SamuelH8050 1tookH3947 a stoneH68 and setH7760 it betweenH996 MizpahH4709 and ShenH8129, and namedH7121H8034 it 2EbenezerH72, sayingH559, “ThusH2008 farH5704 the LordH3068 has helpedH5826 us.” 133So the PhilistinesH6430 were subduedH3665 and 4they didH3254 not comeH935 anymoreH5750 within the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478. And the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was against the PhilistinesH6430 allH3605 the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050. 14The citiesH5892 whichH834 the PhilistinesH6430 had takenH3947 from IsraelH3478 were restoredH7725 to IsraelH3478, from EkronH6138 even to GathH1661; and IsraelH3478 deliveredH5337 their territoryH1366 from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. So there was peaceH7965 betweenH996 IsraelH3478 and 5the AmoritesH567.

15Now SamuelH8050 6judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425. 16He used to goH1980 annuallyH1767H8141 on circuitH5437 to 7BethelH1008 and 8GilgalH1537 and 9MizpahH4709, and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 in allH3605 theseH428 placesH4725. 17Then his returnH8666 was to 10RamahH7414, for his houseH1004 was thereH8033, and thereH8033 he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478; and he 11builtH1129 thereH8033 an altarH4196 to the LordH3068.
