1 Samuel 7:7-14

7Now when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 had gatheredH6908 at MizpahH4709, the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 wentH5927 upH5927 againstH413 IsraelH3478. And when the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 about it, 1they wereH3372 afraidH3372 of the PhilistinesH6430. 8So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “2Do not stopH2790 cryingH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068 our GodH430 for us, that He will saveH3467 us from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430!” 9SamuelH8050 tookH3947 3a nursingH2461 lambH2924 and offeredH5927 it as a wholeH3632 burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068; and SamuelH8050 criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068 for IsraelH3478, and 4the LordH3068 answeredH6030 him. 10Now SamuelH8050 was offeringH5927 upH5927 the burntH5930 offeringH5930, and the PhilistinesH6430 advancedH5066 to battleH4421 IsraelH3478. But 5the LordH3068 thunderedH7481 with a greatH1419 6thunderH6963 on that dayH3117 againstH5921 the PhilistinesH6430 and 7confusedH2000 them, so that they were struckH5062 downH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478. 11And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 cameH3318 outH3318 of MizpahH4709 and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, and killedH5221 them as farH5704 as belowH4480H8478 Beth-carH1033.

12Then SamuelH8050 8tookH3947 a stoneH68 and placedH7760 it betweenH996 MizpahH4709 and ShenH8129, and namedH7121H8034 it 9EbenezerH72, sayingH559, “10SoH2008 farH5704 the LordH3068 has helpedH5826 us.” 1311So the PhilistinesH6430 were subduedH3665, and 12they did not comeH935 anymoreH3254H5750 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 13recoveredH5337 their territoryH1366 from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. So there was peaceH7965 betweenH996 IsraelH3478 and 14the AmoritesH567.
