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 they 2consecratedH6942 his sonH1121 EleazarH499 to watchH8104 overH8104 the arkH727 of the LordH3068. 2From the dayH3117 that the arkH727 remainedH3427 at Kiriath-jearimH7157, the 3timeH3117 wasH7235 longH7235, for it was twentyH6242 yearsH8141; and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 4mournedH5091 afterH310 the LordH3068.
3Then SamuelH8050 spokeH559 to allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “5IfH518 you are returningH7725 to the LordH3068 with allH3605 your heartH3824, then 6removeH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 and the 7AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and 8directH3559 your heartsH3824 to the LordH3068 and 9serveH5647 Him aloneH905; and He will saveH5337 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 10MizpahH4708 and 11I will prayH6419 to the LordH3068 for you.” 6So they gatheredH6908 to MizpahH4709, and drewH7579 waterH4325 and 12pouredH8210 it outH8210 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and 13fastedH6684 on that dayH3117 and saidH559 thereH8033, “14We have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068.” And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at MizpahH4709.
