1 Samuel 7:7-14

7And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH6908 to MizpehH4708, the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 went upH5927 against IsraelH3478. And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 it, they were afraidH3372 ofH6440 the PhilistinesH6430. 8And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, CeaseH2790 not to cryH2199 unto YhwhH3068 our GodH430 for us, that he will saveH3467 us out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.1

9And SamuelH8050 tookH3947 aH259 suckingH2461 lambH2924, and offeredH5927 it for a burnt offeringH5930 whollyH3632 unto YhwhH3068: and SamuelH8050 criedH2199 unto YhwhH3068 for IsraelH3478; And YhwhH3068 heardH6030 him.2 10And as SamuelH8050 was offering upH5927 the burnt offeringH5930, the PhilistinesH6430 drew nearH5066 to battleH4421 against IsraelH3478: But YhwhH3068 thunderedH7481 with a greatH1419 thunderH6963 on that dayH3117 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and discomfitedH2000 them; and they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478. 11And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 of MizpehH4709, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, and smoteH5221 them, until they came under Beth–carH1033. 12Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 aH259 stoneH68, and setH7760 it between MizpehH4709 and ShenH8129, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Eben–ezerH72, sayingH559, Hitherto hath YhwhH3068 helpedH5826 us.3

13So the PhilistinesH6430 were subduedH3665, and they cameH935 no moreH3254 into the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478: and the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 was against the PhilistinesH6430 all the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050. 14And the citiesH5892 which the PhilistinesH6430 had takenH3947 from IsraelH3478 were restoredH7725 to IsraelH3478, from EkronH6138 even unto GathH1661; and the coastsH1366 thereof did IsraelH3478 deliverH5337 out of the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. And there was peaceH7965 between IsraelH3478 and the AmoritesH567.
