Book 09 1 Samuel Chapter 007

 

007:001And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of
the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the
hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the
LORD.

 

007:002And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim,
that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the
house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

 

007:003And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye
do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away
the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare
your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will
deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

 

007:004Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth,
and served the LORD only.

 

007:005And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray
for you unto the LORD.

 

007:006And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and
poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and
said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged
the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

 

007:007And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel
were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines
went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard
it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

 

007:008And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry
unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the
hand of the Philistines.

 

007:009And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt
offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD
for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

 

007:010And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the
Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD
thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the
Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten
before Israel.

 

007:011And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the
Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.

 

007:012Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen,
and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the
LORD helped us.

 

007:013So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into
the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the
Philistines all the days of Samuel.

 

007:014And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel
were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the
coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the
Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the
Amorites.

 

007:015And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

 

007:016And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and
Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.

 

007:017And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and
there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the
LORD.
