1 Samuel 7:12-17

12Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

13So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14Then the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory from the hands of the Philistines. Also there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.

17But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
