1 Samuel 7:12-17

12Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and named Eben-ezer saying, “Thus far Adonai has helped us.”

13So the Philistines were subdued and they did not invade the border of Israel anymore. The hand of Adonai was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14The towns that the Philistines had taken from Israel, from Ekron to Gath, were restored to Israel, and Israel recovered its territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.

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

16He used to go annually on a circuit to Beth-el and Gilgal and Mizpah, and would judge over Israel in all those places.

17Then his return was to Ramah, because his home was there, and from there he would judge Israel. So he built an altar to Adonai there.
